The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed responsibility for an attack on the Israeli settlement of “Eilat” for the second time in two weeks, vowing to carry out more attacks against the Israeli occupation amid the regime’s bombardment campaign against Gaza.
The Iraqi resistance movement, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel on Sunday announced they targeted the illegal Israeli settlement (built on the ruins of the Palestinian town of Umm al-Rashrash), south of occupied Palestine.
“In support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and elders, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted a site in occupied Umm Al-Rashrash (Eilat) under, using appropriate weapons,” the statement said.
“The Islamic Resistance reaffirms its continuation in striking the enemy’s strongholds,” it added.
The settlement was first targeted by the Iraqi resistance forces on November 3.
A group calling itself “Al-Jazeera Al-Arabiya SWAT” also claimed in a statement responsibility for targeting “Eilat” with two drones, affirming that its operations have just begun and will not cease “until the savage war on Gaza stops.”
