The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Eilat, in southernmost occupied Palestine, with two suicide drones on Monday.

Tehran -ISNA- Announcing its intentions to continue supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza and confront the Israeli-committed massacres in the besieged territory, the group said that it is targeting a vital site in Eilat.

This attack marked the first use of al-Arfad suicide drones in the operations of the Iraqi Resistance against Israeli and United States forces in the region. Previously the Iraqi Resistance had depended on the use of its own version of the Shahed-101 drone. Al-Arfad drones resemble the Yemeni Armed Forces' Sammad line of attack drones, which have been heavily deployed against Western naval forces and the Israeli occupation.

The Islamic Resistance reiterated its resolve to continue targeting enemy forces in the region.

Iraqi Resistance factions intensified their targeting of Israeli forces in May, utilizing a variety of cruise missiles and drones to do so.
