Iraq’s Islamic Resistance announced, in a statement issued late Tuesday, striking a vital Israeli target in the north of occupied Palestine with drones.
The Iraqi Resistance had announced responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks against five Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories. In a statement, the group said the operations were carried out on October 8th using advanced cruise missiles and drones.
According to the statement, the attacks struck sites in the central and northern regions of occupied Palestine. The Iraqi Resistance said the operations were part of its ongoing efforts to oppose the Israeli occupation and show solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

The group also cited the “heinous massacres” committed by Israeli occupation forces against civilians, including women and children, as a key motivation behind the strikes.
This latest action comes just days after the Iraqi Resistance conducted three separate attacks against vital targets in the occupied Syrian Golan. On October 4th, the Israeli military acknowledged that two of its soldiers were killed and 24 others injured in a drone strike originating from Iraq.
An investigation by the Israeli occupation army revealed that the attack involved two explosive-laden drones launched from Iraqi territory. One drone was intercepted, while the second managed to strike an army base in the northern Golan Heights.
The Iraqi Resistance has vowed to continue its campaign against “enemy strongholds” with increasing intensity, signaling an escalation of the group’s cross-border operations against Israeli interests.
