News - Middle East: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has launched a drone attack on an Israeli military base inside the occupied Palestinian territories, in response to the regime’s brutal aggression against civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

The umbrella group of anti-terror fighters in the Arab country announced in a statement published on Telegram channel that it had “attacked a military target in the southern occupied lands using drones” in the early hours of Tuesday.

The resistance group stressed that the drone attack was carried out “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.”

It also vowed to continue “striking the enemy's strongholds with increasing intensity.”

The resistance group provided no further details about the drone strikes or the targeted Israeli military base.

Since Israel launched its brutal war in Gaza in early October last year, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has conducted similar operations. The group has also attacked US military bases in Iraq and Syria, denouncing Washington’s support for the occupying regime in its genocidal war against Palestinians.

The ongoing Israeli war has resulted in the deaths of at least 43,374 Palestinians, the majority of whom women and children, with another 102,261 people injured.
