Israel shot down a drone likely heading toward the southern Israeli port of Eilat on the night of 8-9 July. The attempted drone attack was conducted by the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” – one of Iran‘s unofficial military assets based in Iraq.
The incident confirms that Iran’s unofficial Iraqi military assets’ attempted missile and drone strikes against Israel, which started in April 2024, have continued in the subsequent period.
