News - Middle East: Iraqi resistance fighters have struck a military target lying in the southern part of the occupied Palestinian territories in their latest anti-Israeli operation.

In a statement, the country’s Islamic Resistance, a coalition of anti-terror fighters, said it had hit the target with attack drones on Saturday.

The coalition said it had conducted the operation “in continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, and in support of our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”

The fighters have been conducting hundreds of such operations since last October, when the Israeli regime began launching a yet-ongoing war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, and markedly escalated its deadly aggression towards Lebanon.

At least 43,552 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed as a result of the war, while the attacks on Lebanon have claimed the lives of at least 3,136 people.

Most recently, the Iraqi resistance announced carrying out separate operations against strategic installations within the occupied territories in reprisal for Tel Aviv’s atrocious against the coastal sliver and the country.

It said its fighters had used bomb-laden unmanned aerial vehicles to strike a vital target in the city of Haifa on Wednesday morning. Later that day, the alliance claimed responsibility for a drone strike on another key Israeli position in the southern side of the occupied territories.

Concluding its Saturday statement, the alliance said it “confirms its continuation in striking the enemy's strongholds with increasing intensity.”
