The Iraqi Islamic Resistance carried out five drone strikes against strategic targets in the occupied territories, the resistance group announced on Saturday.
The first two strikes hit a “vital facility” in the occupied city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat, in the early hours of the morning. The Resistance said the operations, which utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), were in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon.
Later, the Resistance launched three more drone attacks – one targeting a military site in the northern occupied territories, and two more hitting military objectives in the southern occupied areas.
Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, moreover, launched twice drone attacks on an Israeli military target in northern Palestine.

The resistance group stated that these operations were a direct response to recent Israeli actions that have resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children, among Palestinians and Lebanese.
“Our actions are a continuation of our path to resist occupation and defend our people in Palestine and Lebanon,” the Resistance said in a statement. They vowed to maintain “increasingly frequent strikes” against enemy positions.
This latest series of drone attacks follows three similar strikes carried out by the Iraqi Resistance against vital Israeli targets just days earlier on Thursday.
