News - Middle East: Iraq’s Islamic Resistance has announced firing a drone towards a “vital target” in the city of Haifa in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.

The resistance, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, said through a statement that it had staged the strike on Sunday.

It said it had carried out the operation “in continuation of our path in resisting the occupation.”

The coalition also said the strike had come “in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”

The resistance has been conducting numerous such operations against sensitive targets lying across the occupied territories since October 7 last year, when the Israeli regime began bringing the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war. More than 40,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the brutal Israeli military onslaught so far.

Concluding its statement, the group said it “confirms its continuation in striking the enemy's strongholds.”

Over the past weeks, the resistance has also stepped up its retaliatory attacks against United States-occupied bases across Iraq and neighboring Syria, seething at Washington’s unfaltering political, military, and intelligence support for Tel Aviv’s atrocities in Gaza.

On Tuesday, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, a component of the coalition, claimed responsibility for an August 15 strike against the US-occupied Ain al-Assad Airbase in western Iraq, saying it would launch further attacks that would “surprise” the enemy.

"In the coming days, we will witness unprecedented attacks by the Iraqi resistance, which will surprise the enemy inside and outside of Iraq," said Haider al-Lami, a member of the movement’s political office.
