The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, continues to launch attacks against Israel in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon despite increasing threats.
On November 8, the group announced in separate statements that it had attacked three “military targets” in northern Israel with suicide drones.
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 the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the group said, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.”
Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drones were used in all three attacks, according to videos released by the group. This type is said to have a range of 900 kilometers and a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour with a warhead weighing eight kilograms.
Suspected drone infiltration sirens sounded in the Carmel region in northern Israel during the day. The IDF later said that the incident was over, without elaborating further. No casualties or damage were reported in the incident.
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 latest attacks by the group came just a day after Israeli Kan 11 News reported that the country was considering strikes against Iran-backed factions in Iraq.
The number of attacks on Israeli territory from Iraq by Iran’s proxies is causing Israel to mull whether to strike Iraq in order to harm the Iranian activities carried out from its territory, the state-owned news channel said in a report, adding that the United States is putting pressure on Iraq to act on its own against these attacks.
