Israeli Military Intercepts Missiles from Iraq

Fighters from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have claimed responsibility for drone and missile strikes against Israeli targets in response to Israel's military actions in Gaza. The Iraqi resistance launched advanced al-Arqab cruise missiles and kamikaze drones, targeting vital sites in the Israeli-occupied territories. In retaliation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted several aerial targets from Iraq, including two cruise missiles and a drone, before they could enter Israeli airspace. The IDF reported no injuries, and recent sirens activated in the northern region turned out to be false alarms. This escalation follows a prolonged conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has resulted in significant casualties in Gaza, with over 41,000 Palestinians reported dead since the onset of the war. The situation reflects heightened tensions in the region, with attacks being launched from multiple fronts against Israel.
