Baghdad, Oct 10 The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shiite militia group, claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a "vital" site in Eilat, Israel's southern port city.
The group said in a statement on Wednesday night that the attack was conducted "in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon," pledging to continue targeting "the enemy's strongholds."
The statement did not provide further details about the targeted site or report any casualties, Xinhua news agency reported.
Earlier in the day, the Iraqi militant group claimed responsibility for four drone attacks on four "vital" sites in Israel.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has repeatedly attacked Israeli and US positions in the region, expressing support for Palestinians in Gaza.
The militia has stepped up its attacks as Israel has intensified strikes against Hezbollah across Lebanon.
