Israeli army reports two soldiers killed and over 20 injured in “fiercest attack” by Iraqi factions

Shafaq News/ The Israeli army reported that two soldiers were killed and 24 others injured in the "fiercest attack" launched by Iraqi factions in nearly a year.

In a press statement, the Israeli army spokesperson revealed that the two deceased soldiers were from the "13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade," noting that “a drone launched from Iraq exploded at a military base north of the Golan.”

Earlier today, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) announced that it successfully attacked three targets in Tiberias and the occupied Golan Heights using drones, marking the most severe attack among over 180 against Israel since November 2023.

The announcement follows an attack on Thursday when the Iraqi Resistance targeted a site in southern Israel with a drone, which it claimed had "advanced capabilities used for the first time."

The ongoing conflict in the region has seen increasing tensions, with militant groups from Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon ramping up their operations against Israeli targets “in solidarity with the Palestinian movement and people.”
