Fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have used a new kamikaze drone in its strike against a strategic target in the southernmost part of the Israeli-occupied territories in response to the regime’s relentless offensives on Gaza.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement published on its Telegram channel, claimed responsibility for an attack on a “vital” installation in the Port of Eilat early on Tuesday.

It said the drone strike was carried out in continuation of the struggle against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza, and in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against ordinary people, including women, children and the elderly.

The group noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.

The strike marked the first application of al-Arfad suicide drones in operations against Israeli and US interests in the West Asia region.
