The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced yesterday that it “attacked a vital target” in the city of Haifa in Israel a day earlier, Quds Press reported.

“In continuation of our approach to resist the [Israeli] occupying regime and support the people of Gaza, as well as in response to the crimes committed by the usurping regime against Palestinian civilians, including children, women and the elderly, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted a vital target with a drone in the occupied territories,” the group said in a statement.

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since 7 October.

The onslaught has killed more than 40,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 93,700 others, according to local health authorities.An ongoing blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, and has left much of the region enclave in ruins.

Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
