The Shiite group Iraqi Islamic Resistance carried out four drone attacks on Friday against "vital targets" in Israel, three of which were in the south of the country and one in the Golan Heights. This was reported by the Qatari TV channel Al Jazeera. On Friday, Israeli media reported that fighter jets intercepted two UAVs launched from the east over the Red Sea, without specifying which country or group carried out the launches.
Shiite formations in Iraq increased their activity after the situation in the region escalated in October 2023 as a result of the infiltration of militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, accompanied by the killing of residents of border settlements and the taking of hostages. Israel announced a complete blockade of Gaza and began striking at it and certain areas of Lebanon and Syria, after which it launched a ground operation in the enclave.
The Iran-backed Iraqi Islamic Resistance has stepped up attacks on Israel as the Israeli military intensifies its offensive in Gaza and Lebanon. The group, which says it acts in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon, also periodically carries out missile and drone attacks on US troops in Iraq and Syria.
