The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced a successful drone strike on a “vital Israeli target” in the occupied Palestinian city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat. This attack was carried out in solidarity with the people of Gaza and in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The group vowed to continue targeting Israeli strongholds.
Reports from Israeli media outlets confirmed the attack, noting that a drone had managed to reach its intended target in Eilat without interception. Sirens were also heard in the Israeli settlement following the strike.

This recent attack follows a similar operation on Sunday, further highlighting the Iraqi Resistance’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause. The group emphasized that its actions are aimed at aiding the Palestinian people amidst the ongoing conflict with Israel.
The Iraqi Resistance, comprised of multiple factions operating under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, has been active in responding to Israeli aggression. The group has previously targeted American military sites in the region as a show of solidarity with Gaza.
As the Israeli war on Gaza continues to escalate in the region, the leader of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq party, Sheikh Qais Khazali, issued a warning to the United States against supporting Israel in potential conflicts with Lebanon and Hezbollah. Khazali stressed that such actions could put American interests in Iraq and the wider region at risk.
The Iraqi Resistance shows no signs of backing down and has made it clear that it will persist in its efforts to support the Palestinian cause and oppose Israeli aggression.
