Iran-backed militias in Iraq claim to have targeted Israeli gas rig in Mediterranean |

[IsraelTimes] The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed militias, claims to have struck a "vital target" in the Mediterranean Sea several days ago. A source in the group tells Al Jazeera that the target was the Karish gas rig off Israel’s northern coast. The claims from the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq — which cannot be verified — come after the IDF announced it downed a drone last week over the sea near Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... as it approached Israeli airspace. |
