The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on October 5 that it had attacked five targets in Israel in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
In two separate statements, the group said it launched three suicide drones at three “vital targets” in northern Israel and attacked two more targets, one in the outskirts of the northern city of Haifa and another in southern Israel, with cruise missiles.
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.”
Two videos released by the group showed the launch of what appears to be three Iranian-made KAS-04 suicide drones and at least two Araqab cruise missiles. The Araqab is thought to be a derivative of the Iranian-made Paveh.
On October 6, the Israeli Defense Forces said that two drones were shot down by an Israeli Navy missile boat off the coast of northern Israel and a third one was shot down by the Israeli Air Force off the coast of the central city of Tel Aviv. Video footage showing twp of the interceptions was released.
The military said that the three drones were launched from the east, a term used to describe IRI attacks from Iraq in the past.
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 war on Gaza. In September, the group escalated its attacks against Israel in response to Israel’s ongoing aerial campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On October 3, two Israeli troops were killed and at least 24 others were wounded when a base in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights was struck by a drone launched from Iraq by the IRI.
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.

biden backed look i told you australias biggest bank got busted with at least something like 47000 criminal charges that they entered a no contest plea deal for involving money laundering and funding isis whilst the isis toyotas were from toyota australias stock. it was all swept under the rug.
nothing is what it seems. some people prefer parroting profitable propagandas rather than the facts.
isis is truly blessed, able to cross hundreds of km of open desert in their toyotas while us and vassal states have complete control of the skies overhead.
well, the cia and mossad have to buy isis their toyotas from somewhere, don’t they, so why not down under? you don’t expect isis to walk or catch the bus, do you?
i$i$ and al ciaduh made in the anglozionazi empire of shit for the terrorist abomination sewer occupying palestine.
good luck with your small fireworks
it’s always the way, isn’t it? you throw a party and suddenly a lot of gatecrashers turn up. still, hamas shouldn’t hog all the fun. must share.
the allies totally destroyed and conquered iraq 20+ years ago…they are now a 4th rate country…heheheh
just another war for israel by the goy puppets, sorry allies. one of the goy puppet candidates in the us election wants to fight 100 wars for israel, the other, who is obviously totally anti semitic, only wants to fight 99 wars for israel. in fact this is complete anti semitism from both of them. they should immediately pledge themselves to fight infinity wars for israel and give israel infinity trillions of dollars. anything else is just totally unacceptable anti shmemitism.
there are reports that iran has just carried out an underground nuclear test in iran. i don’t know how credible this is. israel will probably attack iran today, 7th october.
because i know that you are obstinate,
and your neck is an iron sinew
and your forehead brass
…
that you had paid attention to my commandments!
then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
your offspring would have been like the sand,
and your descendants like its grains;
israhell is not long for this world. will the euro pawns and the $lumvillains want a couple of million surviving welfare warfare loonatics back in their ghettos when palestine is cured? i’m sure mother russia will not want its 1.4 million kosher nostra scum back.
