BAGHDAD, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shiite militia group, on Thursday claimed responsibility for five drone attacks in northern Israel.

In online statements, the group said the attacks targeted several "vital sites," providing no further details about the exact sites or any casualties.

The group noted that the drone attacks were carried out "in solidarity with our people in Palestine and Lebanon," pledging to continue targeting "the enemy's strongholds at an escalating pace."

Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has repeatedly attacked Israeli and U.S. positions in the region to show support for Palestinians in Gaza.

The militia has stepped up its attacks on Israel after the latter intensified strikes against Hezbollah across Lebanon on Sept. 23. Enditem
