Islamic Resistance in Iraq Targets “Israeli” Air Base, Military Sites in “Eilat”

By Staff, Agencies

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Friday that it has hit a vital “Israeli” target in Um Al-Rashrash [Eilat] as well as a military site in the same area.

Earlier, the group announced striking the airbase housing the “Israeli” air force’s “aggressor squadron,” which acts as the opposing force in wargames partaken by the occupying entity.

The resistance, which is an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, made the announcement on Thursday after conducting the strike, which it said it had carried out “using drones.”

It specified the target as the entity’s “Ovda” Airbase, which lies in the southern part of the occupied territories, around 40 kilometers [24 miles] north of the port of “Eilat”.

The operations, the group said, came “in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.”

The group has conducted numerous such strikes against the occupied territories since the beginning of the “Israeli” aggression on Gaza.
