BAGHDAD — The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shiite militia group, claimed responsibility on Monday for a drone attack on a military site in Israel.
The group said in a statement that the attack was conducted “in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon” and pledged to continue targeting “the enemy’s strongholds.”
The statement did not provide further details about the targeted site or report any casualties.
Since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has conducted multiple strikes against Israeli and U.S. targets in the region to show support for Palestinians in Gaza.
The group has recently escalated its attacks on Israel as the latter intensified its strikes against Hezbollah across Lebanon.
