Iraqi militant group claims 2 drone attacks on Israeli targets

Baghdad, Sep 29 (UNI) The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shiite militia group claimed responsibility for two drone attacks on Israeli targets.

The group said in separate statements that its fighters launched two drone attacks on vital sites in Israel’s Tel Aviv and Eilat on Saturday, without specifying the affected sites or reporting any casualties.

Earlier in the day, the group claimed four drone attacks on Israeli targets — three at dawn on sites in northern Israel, including one in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and a fourth attack on a site in southern Israel.

The attacks come following the latest devastating Israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, during which Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed.

Since the onset of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has conducted multiple attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets in the region to show its support for the Palestinians in Gaza.

The group has recently escalated its attacks on Israel amid ongoing intensive Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon.
