BAGHDAD, June 3 (Xinhua) -- A Shiite militia in Iraq on Monday claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a site in Haifa in northern Israel.
The militia, known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, said in an online statement that its fighters launched at dawn a drone attack on "a vital site in Haifa," without providing further details about the targeted location or any resulting casualties.
The militia stressed that the attack was carried out "in solidarity with the people in the Gaza Strip," vowing to continue its attacks on "the enemy's strongholds."
It came just one day after the militia claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a site in Eilat in southern Israel.
Since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict on Oct. 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has launched multiple attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets in the region. ■
