BAGHDAD, June 23 (Xinhua) -- A Shiite militia in Iraq on Sunday claimed responsibility for two drone attacks on two sites in Israel.
The militia, known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, said in two online statements that its fighters launched a drone attack on Sunday morning on a "vital site in Eilat" in southern Israel and another attack in the afternoon on a "vital site on the coast of the Dead Sea" in Israel.
The militia claimed the attacks were carried out "in solidarity with the people of Gaza," and vowed to continue targeting "the enemy's strongholds."
The statements provided no details about the targeted sites or any resulting casualties.
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. bases in the region. ■
