Militant Groups Launch Drone Attacks on Israel

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Haifa, Israel, asserting it was in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict. The militia's statement emphasized its commitment to continue targeting Israeli strongholds, although specifics about the attack were not disclosed. Concurrently, Hezbollah launched a large-scale retaliatory strike against Israel, using drones and over 100 rockets, in response to the assassination of a senior commander, Fouad Shukur. Israeli military operations have intensified, with strikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon and warnings issued to civilians in affected areas. The Houthis in Yemen also expressed support for these actions, threatening their own retaliation against Israel following recent strikes in Yemen. This escalation comes as diplomatic efforts continue in Egypt to seek an end to hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
