The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on October 30 that it had attacked a “vital target” in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, with Hebrew media confirming that an aviation factory was hit.
The attack was carried out “in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity [Israel] against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly” in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the group said in a statement, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
Video footage released by the group showed the launch of what appears to be an Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drone. This type is said to have a range of 900 kilometers and a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour with a warhead weighing eight kilograms.
The Israeli Defense Forces acknowledged later that an aviation factory close to Nahariya was struck by a suicide drone that came from the direction of Lebanon. It described the damage to the factory, which produces aviation parts, as “minor”.
The military also said it was investigating why the drone was only detected right before the impact and why no sirens sounded.
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.
The group’s attacks are becoming more effective, with Hebrew media acknowledging damage and casualties more than once in recent weeks.

regardless of whether trump or swamp wins the us election, we can expect a huge escalation against iran. the full-scale military escalation was only slightly delayed because swamp did not want to unmask themself yet. but the world is being pushed into another big war, next to which ukraine will look like a birthday party.
thank you for your well informed anaysis…captain obvious…
thank you for that latest bit of bullshit general-feldmarschall von assclown, but i’m afraid your mom want’s you to stop playing call of duty and go clean your room right this instant.
the redcoats in the swamp are slowly becoming visible they are known to have planned a war for the entire mid-east. they would need a great diversion for the american people to remain in power as americans are turned into zionist/globalist proxies for a whole series of new wars.
no doubt the hundreds of thousands of starving palestinians will be uplifted to hear that they are to be avenged one drone at a time. while each part of the axis can only do what it can, failing to mount the most massive possible attacks until victory or defeat was derelict of the axis as a whole once the zionist genocide plan became clear.

the iraqi resistence is doing a good job! could they justget a bead on scum netanyahu with a drone, the world will sing halleluja in unison!
