Iraqi militants announced the launch of a UAV at a target in northern Israel

The pro-Iranian group Islamic Resistance in Iraq said that on the night of October 24, it used a UAV to attack a target in northern Israel.

There were no official reports of the interception or fall of a UAV in northern Israel at night or in the morning. But Israeli media reported that a target was shot down near Tiberias, although there were no sirens.

Let us note that recently attacks by Iraqi terrorists have become more frequent.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq regularly reports launches of UAVs and cruise missiles towards Israel.

The attitude towards the statements of this group changed after the IDF confirmed that a UAV hit one of the buildings on the territory of the military base in Eilat on the night of April 1, as well as after the confirmed participation of pro-Iranian militants in Iraq in a massive attack on Israel on April 14. Later, the IDF repeatedly confirmed the interception of “air targets flying from the east.”

On the night of July 19, 2024, with the help of an Iranian-made Samad-3 kamikaze UAV launched from Yemen by Houthi militants, Tel Aviv was attacked. An Israeli died. On the night of September 27, 2024, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at the center of Israel (the missile was intercepted by the Israeli Hetz missile defense system).

On October 4, 2024, an attack by a UAV launched from Iraq in northern Israel killed two soldiers and wounded three others.

Several times the militants of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed that they launched a UAV at the port of Ashdod, then it was claimed that they attacked a certain maritime facility in Israel, then they announced an attack on the Haifa port, twice they announced an attack on the Ben airport -Gurion,” there were fake “attacks” on oil refineries in Haifa and the Palmachim military airbase, it was alleged that a “power plant in Tel Aviv” and the “Ministry of the Zionist Occupation Army” in Tel Aviv, as well as the airport in Haifa were attacked , Leviatan gas production platform and oil terminal in Ashkelon. These statements have never been confirmed by any sources in Israel. There were also fake “strikes” on Eilat. Statements by Iraqi militants about attacks on the Hatzerim airbase near Beersheba and the Eliphelet military base north of Lake Kinneret have not been confirmed. They also announced a strike on the non-existent “Johanten base”.
