The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on November 16 that it had attacked two “vital targets” in northern Israel with drones in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
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 IRI said in two separate statements.
Furthermore, the group vowed that its “operations against enemy strongholds [in Israel] will continue at an increasing pace.”
Video footage released by the group showed the launch of what appears to be two Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drones.
The Shahed-101 is said to have a range of 900 kilometers and a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour with a warhead weighing eight kilograms.
Early on November 17, drone infiltration sirens sounded in the southern part of the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Home Front Command said later in a statement the incident “has ended,” without elaborating further.
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. The IDF is now considering responding directly against Iraq, according to recent reports in Hebrew and Arab media.

keep it up, the jews (the scum) can’t handle attacks from a number of sources and that depletes the available weaponry making the scum closer to the drain until the scum are forced to flee.
