Islamic Resistance in Iraq claims series of drone attacks on Israel

Shafaq News/ The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) announced, on Monday, that it conducted six separate drone strikes targeting what it termed “vital” sites within Israel.

In multiple statements, the group claimed that two of the attacks were directed at “the northern occupied territories [Israel],” with another two aimed at the southern region.

According to the IRI, the group launched a total of eight strikes against Israeli targets over 24 hours in “solidarity with our brothers in Palestine and Lebanon,” underscoring its intent to intensify operations.

For several months, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq—a coalition of Iran-aligned Iraqi factions that includes groups like Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada—has reported regular rocket and drone attacks targeting Israeli interests. The United States has designated all of these groups as terrorist organizations.
