The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed faction, launched more drone attacks against Israel over the night of September 9 and 10 in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
In three separate statements, the group said that its suicide drones attacked a “vital target” in the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat and two others in the north 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 added, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
The group also released two videos showing the launch of the drones that attacked northern Israel. The drones were apparently of the Iranian-made Shahed-101 type.
The Israeli Defense Forces said that it intercepted a drone over the Red Sea overnight. The drone never entered Israeli territory, according to the military.
Jordanian media reported later that an explosive object had fallen in the southern beach area of the Aqaba city, which is located on the Red Sea. No casualties were reported.
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.
While Israel has not openly responded to the IRI’s attacks yet, 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.

iron doom running low on interceptors, just as the iraqi resistance starts to scrap the top of their barrel of drones with zionist targets programmed into them… roadhouse time. surely the iraqis will be calling iran to help jam the paper doom with muransk system to get bigger bang for bucks on rabbid/rabbi nazi hellhole israel.
using up the rusty sieve ammo, good idea
the iranians are justified to continue their missile campaign to weaken israel. they should continue firing and not bother to wait for the israeli response
