News - Middle East: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has pounded targets in the Israeli-occupied territories, using a new advanced cruise missile on the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.

The umbrella group of anti-terror fighters said in a statement published on its Telegram channel on Tuesday that it had successfully struck five Israeli targets in the center and north of the occupied territories  in the early morning using "al-Arqab" advanced cruise missiles and drones.

The statement said the operations were in support of the people of Palestine and Lebanon and "in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women and the elderly."

The group noted that it would continue to strike the Israeli strongholds more intensely.

Moreover, on the first anniversary of the al-Aqsa flood operation on Monday, the Iraqi resistance group announced it had carried out a drone against a military target in the occupied territories.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been launching attacks on Israeli targets ever since the occupying regime started the genocidal war on Gaza in early October 2023.

They have carried out several attacks on the US-controlled al-Asad Airbase in western Iraq, as well as military sites and key locations of the Israeli regime, including Eilat port, Haifa city, and the occupied Golan Heights in Syria, all aimed at bolstering support for the Palestinian people.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement struck multiple targets in the northern Israeli-occupied territories with salvos of rockets on Tuesday in retaliation for the regime’s year-long genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip and a means of retaliation against the regime’s killing of the Lebanese since the onset of the war.

In a statement, Hezbollah said it had hit gatherings of Israeli forces in Shlomi town in the northern Israeli-occupied territories, Hanita kibbutz in the western Galilee and the Marj site situated in Wadi Hunin with a barrage of rockets in the early hour of Tuesday.

Hezbollah further said that its rocket barrage also pounded two artillery positions of Israeli forces in Dishon and Dalton towns, both situated in the northern Israeli-occupied territories, at 5 a.m. local time.

The Israeli regime has killed more than 2,000 Lebanese since Hezbollah began launching strikes against Israel a year ago in solidarity with Palestinians.
