The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced on July 24 that it had carried out a drone attack against a “vital target” near the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat.
In a statement, the group said that the drone attack was carried out “in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity [Israel] against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly” in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
“The Islamic Resistance confirms that operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace,” the statement reads.
After the group announcement, the Israeli Defense Forces said that its fighter jets shot down two drones which were heading towards Israel from the east overnight. The drones did not cross into Israeli airspace, according to the military. The drones were likely the ones launched by the IRI at Eilat.
The IRI began launching attacks against Israel as well as against United States forces in Iraq and neighboring Syria in response to Israel’s bloody war on Gaza and Washington’s unwavering support for it.
The group suspended attacks against U.S. forces last February after the death of three American troops in a drone strike on a base in Jordan, reportedly upon a request from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Nevertheless, it escalated attacks against Israel starting from March.
Israel has not openly responded to the IRI’s attacks yet. Yet, it was blamed for several strikes that targeted Iran-backed armed factions along the Syrian-Iraqi border and near the Syrian capital, Damascus, following the outbreak of the war in the Strip.
