Tehran, IRNA - The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) has announced that it has launched an attack on a target controlled by the Israeli regime in Syria’s Golan Heights.

The IRI said in a statement on Sunday that its fighters had used a drone to hit an Israeli regime position in the occupied Golan a day earlier.

The statement said the attack was to support the Palestinian people in Gaza and their resistance against the Israeli regime.

The IRI includes several paramilitary groups recognized by the Iraqi government as a legitimate force in the country’s fight against terrorism.

Those groups have launched almost daily attacks on US and Israeli interests in Iraq, Syria and in the Israeli-occupied territories since the Israeli regime launched its aggression on Gaza in early October.
