Baghdad, Oct 22 (UNI) The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shiite militia group, on Monday claimed responsibility for carrying out a drone strike on a military site in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
In a statement, the group said the strike was carried out “in solidarity with our people in Palestine and Lebanon,” pledging to continue targeting “the enemy’s strongholds at an escalating pace.”
It did not provide further details about the targeted site or report any casualties.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has repeatedly attacked Israeli and U.S. positions in the region to show support for Palestinians in Gaza.
The militia has stepped up its attacks on Israel after the latter intensified strikes against Hezbollah across Lebanon on September 23.
