Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacks US military base in Syria

Armed groups of Shiite fighters affiliated with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have launched an assault on a US military base located near the al-Omar oil field base in Deir Ezzor province of Syria.

At least three explosions were heard within the premises of the military facility, Caliber.Az reports per Syrian media.

Eyewitness accounts indicate that the Shiite militants, who are allied with the Syrian army, employed suicide drones to strike the American base.

The situation remains tense as further developments are anticipated following this significant escalation in hostilities.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has announced the execution of a series of drone strikes targeting strategic sites within the occupied Palestinian territories. This military action is framed as a response to the ongoing violent offensives by Israeli forces against civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

In a statement released on its Telegram channel on November 5, the coalition of anti-terror fighters detailed an operation aimed at a significant target in the port city of Haifa, employing explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles.

"In line with our commitment to resisting occupation and supporting our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and in retaliation for the brutal massacres perpetrated by the occupying entity against innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, our fighters from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out a drone attack on a vital target in Haifa at dawn on November 5, 2024," the statement asserted.

The resistance group further reported a second drone strike on another crucial target in the same region, reaffirming their position.

"Once again, at dawn on November 5, 2024, our fighters targeted a significant site in Haifa with drones," the follow-up statement confirmed.

The group underscored that these attacks were retaliatory measures against Israeli aggression, which has included the killing of women, children, and the elderly in the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon. The Iraqi resistance has pledged to intensify its operations against Israeli targets in the future.
