BAGHDAD, March 7 (Xinhua) -- An Iraqi Shiite militia on Thursday claimed responsibility for a drone attack on an Israeli airport.
The militia, named Islamic Resistance in Iraq, said in an online statement that its fighters launched an explosive-laden drone Thursday evening to attack a military base in Rosh Pina Airport in Israel without giving details about casualties.
The statement added that the attack came "in solidarity with the people of Gaza," stressing the continuation of attacks to destroy "enemy strongholds."
Since the onset of the Gaza conflict on Oct. 7, 2023, Islamic Resistance in Iraq has launched numerous attacks on Israel and U.S. bases in the region. ■
