The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on November 6 that it had launched two more drone attacks against Israel in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
In separate statements, the group said its suicide drones attacked a “vital target” in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa 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 said, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
Overnight, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it shot down two drones which were launched at Israel from Iraq.
One of the drones was shot down in Israeli airspace over the Arava Desert, close to Ramon Air Base, after setting off warning sirens in the southern settlement of Elipaz, the military said in a statement, adding that the other drone was intercepted before entering 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.
The group escalated its attacks against Israel in September in response to Israel’s ongoing aerial campaign and ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel has not responded directly to the IRI’s attacks yet. However, recent reports suggest that the IDF may be planning an attack on Iraq.
