Baghdad, August 19 (RHC)-- The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has carried out new operations against Israeli military targets on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The umbrella group of resistance factions, in a statement on Sunday evening, said that the operations were in support of Palestinians and in response to Israel’s massacres of civilians in Gaza.

The Islamic Resistance has repeatedly warned that if the Gaza genocide continues, its fighters will intensify their anti-Israel operations.  Regional resistance groups have repeatedly hit sensitive and important Israeli targets in occupied Palestine.

The Iraqi resistance forces have conducted dozens of strikes on the US-run military installations in both Iraq and Syria amid growing anti-US sentiments in the region over Washington’s support for Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza, which has so far killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

There are nearly 2,500 American troops in Iraq and nearly 900 in Syria, illegally occupying Syrian territory.
