The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced, on Friday, that it targeted a vital site of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in "Eilat" (Umm Rashrash) in solidarity with Gaza and in response to the Israeli massacres against Palestinians.

In a statement, it affirmed its determination to strike at the enemy's strongholds.

Concurrently, the Iraqi Resistance targeted the US occupation base in Kharab al-Jeer air base in northeastern Syria.

Kataib Hezbollah set on liberating Iraq

The Secretary-General of Kataib Hezbollah, Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi, said on Wednesday that the faction has set its mind on liberating Iraq, utilizing military means. "This is settled," he sternly said.

Sheikh al-Kaabi promised that the movement would continue its armed struggle until the goal of expelling United States military forces from Iraq was achieved.

"We will not stop, we will not settle, we will not back down," the leader emphasized, promising greater action in the coming days.

Amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Resistance in Iraq rose to the occasion and has been targeting US military bases in northeastern Syria and Iraq since October 13. The attacks come in opposition to the US-backed Israeli aggression on Gaza and in the context of expelling foreign forces from Iraq, which has suffered for more than 20 years from the US aggressive foreign policy in the Middle East.
