The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced that it attack two “vital targets” in the northern Israeli city of Haifa with suicide drones on September 17 and 18.
The attack 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, the group said in separate statements, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
On September 17, Jordan’s state-run news agency Petra reported that the Jordanian military thwarted an attempt by a drone to cross the kingdom’s territory.
“The border guard forces … shot it [drone] down and it was transferred to the specialized authorities,” Petra said, citing an official source in the military’s leadership.
The news agency also quoted the unnamed source as saying: “We are dealing firmly with various threats on the kingdom’s borders.”
And on September 18, the Israeli military announced that its fighter jets intercepted a drone that was launched from Iraq over the Sea of Galilee.
The two drones intercepted recently over Jordan and Israel were apparently the ones launched by the IRI at targets in Haifa.
The IRI began launching attacks against Israel as well as against United States forces in Iraq as and in neighboring Syria in response to Israel’s bloody war on Gaza and Washington’s unwavering support for it.
The group suspended attacks against U.S. forces last February after the death of three American troops in a drone strike on a base in Jordan, reportedly upon a request from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. However, it escalated attacks against Israel starting from March.
Israel has not openly responded to the IRI’s attacks yet. Nevertheless, it was blamed for several strikes and suspected acts of sabotage that targeted Iran-backed armed factions in both Syria and Iraq.

the only reason behind the 1991 + 2003 us raid on iraq, was israel !! because these satanic demon’s breed were angry, because iraq was not allowing israel to bomb iraqi territory (like now israel is doing with syria). iraq responded and sent dozens of scud rockets into israel, giving these scum of the earth the appropriate reward for their evil doings.
so instead of 2 rockets – iraq should shoot (at least!) 200 rockets & drones at israel every day – as the hook-nosed imbeciles in shitty pissrael fully deserve it a thousand times.(if not more )
haifa is a great spot for a sleepy holiday we see very little ressistance whatever way you spell it that town is safe very little noise a place to chillax a place that even the lgbt gender fluids can be safe spaced without trauma
yes sir the chabad and the zio satanic bankstas are running this slow kill shoah
get outta here hitler you nazis are, like parrots .
the zios are the nazis … being anti-zionist is being anti fascist and anti nazi.
haifa refinery is a prime target and taken out the jews won’t be able to fly their f35s due to the lack of jetfuel. the world don’t need the jews and the quicker the’re gone, the better. the primeprime target is naturally netanyahu who is worthy a grue-some death, so gruesome that it will be used to scare young kids hundred of years from now!!
listen dopey dido i grew up within a hiyker youth environment and when i was a, little child remember telling my dad the iy thing hitler did wrong was not kill all the jewsvut i was just a little kid about 5 or 6 maybe. it’s alright for little kids who know nothing to talk a load of crap.
stfu, you’re a nobody and no one cares about your childhood, retard
baaaa hahahahahahaha so they launched 2 attacks on vital targets and they were interxepted and hit no target…..
thats like me saying i threw a punch at mike tysons jaw from 3 suburbs away…….
real tough….. israel is untouchable…… have you seen a photo of tel aviv????
in 1 year not even one single building has been destroyed…. meanwhile 250,000 building have been levelled in gaza, 2000 in syria and 500 in lebanon.
zero buidlings will ever be levelled in tel aviv
enjoy while it lasts! a few million jews against the entire middle east. they are toast and will be gone from this planet, either 6 feet under pushing up daisies or just gone. the middle east is in a tit for tat allowed to start operating concentration camps for the jews (they have the experience) in a similar way the jews have had gaza, where they engaged in genocide. it’s fair from all points if view!
israels land. lands aren’t connected to people’s race or religion. they’re the body of the only living planet known to man anywhere it would be better off to rid itself of the stench of human corruption lies hate violence greed deceit hypocrisy and decadent filthy pedophile drug trafficking money laundering scum bag criminals that it’s riddled from arsehole to breakfast with.
charles is the king of israel. he’s not jewish. who knows what he is really he says he’s, defender of all faiths, everything
at least one building was destroyed in tel aviv central the other day, the headquarters of the terrorist unit 8200. 22 shlomo terrorists were smoked and 74 wounded. director sacked the following day. shlomo was a bit miffed about this and presumably that’s why he threw a tantrum and carried out his pager antics in lebanon. looks like hezb. has got some pretty accurate missiles. i wouldn’t like to be a shlomo anywhere in occupied palestine at the moment.
and rather a lot of buildings have been destroyed in the settler free zone hezb. has established all along the border. don’t think there are all that many buildings left in places like kiryat shmona, actually. there isn’t much left for hezb. to blow up. must be a bit frustrating for them. still, plenty of targets left further south. for the time being anyway, unless the houthis and iran hog them all for themselves and won’t share. mustn’t be too greedy.
quite a lot of buildings were destroyed last october as well adjacent to the gaza concentration camp. still, plenty of others left. can’t have the three h’s getting bored now, can we.
southfront is crying harder.
it’s like throwing a puch at manny pacquiao and nothing happened
