The Islamic Resistance In Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on October 9 that it had carried out four attacks against Israel in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
In separate statements, the group said that suicide drones were launched at four “vital targets,” including one in northern Israel, two in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and another in the south of the country.
The attacks were carried out “in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity [Israel] against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly” in Gaza and Lebanon, the group added, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
Videos released by the group showed the launch of at least three drones, which appeared to be of the Iranian-made Shahed-101 and KAS-04 types.
From its side, the Israeli Defense Forces said in a brief statement that it intercepted overnight a drone that was launched at Israel “from the east,” a term used to refer to Iraq.
The military didn’t clarify where exactly the drone was intercepted, or if any others managed to penetrate into Israeli airspace.
The IRI began carrying out attacks against Israel as well as against United States forces in Iraq and neighboring Syria last October in response to the Israeli all-out war on Gaza. In September, the group escalated its attacks against Israel in response to Israel’s ongoing aerial campaign and ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Two Israeli troops were killed and at least 24 others were wounded on October 3 when a base in the Golan Heights was struck by a drone launched from Iraq by the IRI. This was the first time an attack by the group killed Israelis.
Israel has not openly responded to the IRI’s attacks yet. However, it was blamed for several strikes that targeted Iran-backed armed factions along the Syrian-Iraqi border and near the Syrian capital, Damascus, after the start of the war in the Strip. Iraqi fighters and commanders were killed in some of these strikes.

israeli economy is going down hard. their society is going to break sooner than the resistance breaks. just watch israeli television and media. the jews are deep in absolute hysteria, national mass psychosis like germany of the 1930s. this is 2024, the best god’s chosen chimps can do. the best the west can do. diplomacy and negotation nowhere in sight. the west is trotting out full blown lunacy in front of the whole world while getting its ass kicked
who will want these welfare warfare khazar thugs when the last mutts are expelled from palestine? will you want these monsters back in their europeon and $lumville ghettos living on handouts and battling the imported mohammedans displaced by almost a century of jew terror? it’s coming, make no mistake about that. israhell is not long for the m.e.
the jewganda b.s. and zog’s tacky iron dooooooooom are making the desert boom and getting their karma like never before. i truly enjoy this mega karma dose finally coming to the most evil garbage this planet has ever seen.
even more proof that idf air force needs to be eliminated. what vital targets being hit degrades their air force? how many more arabs must die in other lands before all their air support is eliminated? how many more civilians must die before this is understood? no air force=idf collapse. idf collapse= no more zionists. it is their one real weapon and they use it daily, hour after hour. merkavas are no longer threats. the same needs be idf a.f.
