The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on October 26 that it had attacked a site of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) near the coastal town of Acre, some two kilometers to the north of Haifa port, with a suicide drone.
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.
Drone alerts were activated in Acre and the nearby settlement of Nahariya amid the attack. Later, the IDF acknowledged that a drone from Lebanon impacted in the Western Galilee. No casualties were reported by Hebrew media. Video footage of the impact was posted to social networks.
It’s worth noting that the Iraqi drone attack came amid Israeli strikes on Iran in response to the Islamic Republic’s October 1 large-scale missile attack.
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.

this reminds me of the reports from cuba, where castro’s prominents gathered on the seashore and threw stones in the direction of america. they will inform us in the near future that muslims have gathered, turned their backs on israel and farted. this will teach them a harsh lesson !!!
the stones were symbolic of castro’s will to defy the great satan which materialized in the complete failure of the bay of pigs invasion as the will to defy israel will can not be defeated
grow up. ask yourself simple question why didnt america annexe cuba from centuries ago. understand that then open your eyes to reality.
