| 2024-11-06 |
| [IsraelTimes] An Iran-backed militia in Iraq claims to have fired drones at Israel in a pair of statements. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it fired drones at an unspecified site in “the southern occupied territories,” apparently referring to Israel’s south. The group also says it attacked a “vital target” in Haifa. Earlier, the Israeli military said it downed two drones fired from Iraq, including one that entered Israeli airspace in the Arava Desert, close to Ramon Airport. The second drone was shot down before entering Israeli airspace, the military said. Those attacks were also claimed by the Iraqi group. There are no reports of drone attacks in Israel since then and no sirens have been activated.
