TEHRAN, May 21 (MNA) – Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it has targeted a vital Israeli target in the occupied port of Eilat on Monday.

In line with continuing to confront the occupation of the Zionist regime, helping the residents of Gaza and in response to the killing of Palestinian civilians by the Zionists, our combatants on Monday evening targeted a vital and important target of the Israeli occupation regime in Eilat with two drones, the Iraq-based Resistance group said in a statement.

Since the start of the al-Aqsa Storm operation on the 7th of last October, the occupied port of Eilat has been targeted several times by the Yemeni forces and the Islamic Resistance of Iraq to declare support for the oppressed people of Gaza.

Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
