The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has conducted a drone operation targeting an airport in the Israeli-occupied territories in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Iraqi umbrella group of anti-terror groups said in a statement published on its Telegram channel on Tuesday that it targeted the airport at Kiryat Shmona near Lebanon.
It added the operation was carried out in response to Israel’s massacre of Palestinian civilians, including women and children, in Gaza.
The resistance underscored it would continue anti-Israel operations.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has carried out several attacks on Israeli targets in recent months.
Last week, the group launched a drone attack on a chemical facility in the Israeli port of Haifa.
The resistance group has also struck major US military bases in Syria and Iraq amid resentment over Washington’s unqualified support for Israel’s campaign of genocide in Gaza.
Israel has killed more than 30,600 Palestinians and injured at least 72,000 in Gaza since October7, 2023.
The regime ignited its bloody war machine after it was caught off-guard by Operation Al-Aqsa Storm conducted by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on that October day.
Washington has also used its veto power to block resolutions drafted by the United Nations Security Council demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
