It said the attack was in response to the massacres committed by Israel against Palestinian civilians, including women, children and the elderly.
“In continuation of our path in resisting the occupation, 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 fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, this morning, 10/4/2024, targeted the Haifa oil port in our occupied lands with two drones,” the statement said.

In recent months, the Islamic Resistance, an umbrella group in Iraq has conducted a series of attacks against Israeli positions.
It has also hit US military bases in Iraq and neighboring Syria in retaliation for Washington’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The coalition has been staging many such attacks on Israeli targets since the occupying regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza in October.
The regime began the war on October 7 after Gaza’s resistance groups carried out a retaliatory operation against the usurping entity.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Iraq’s Islamic Resistance has been conducting numerous operations against targets lying throughout the occupied territories ever since the onset of the warfare.
