The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on October 12 that it had attacked two “vital targets” in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights with suicide drone
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 the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the group said in a statement.
“operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace,” it added.
A video released by the group showed the launched of what appears to be a single Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drone.
The Israeli Defense Forces said late on October 11 that a suicide drone impacted “an open area” in the Golan Heights, without causing damage or casualties. Nevertheless, the military claimed that the drone was launched from Syria, not Iraq. Some of the IRI’s factions are known to be operating in the country.
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.
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.
