The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Friday that two soldiers from the Golani Brigade were killed in a drone attack in northern Israel. The attack, which originated from the east, occurred on Wednesday. The IDF did not specify the perpetrator of the attack.
On the same day, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed militias, claimed responsibility for drone attacks on three targets in northern Israel. Hamas expressed support for the group's actions, stating that the drone operation targeted Israeli forces in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, resulting in casualties.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq continued its drone attacks on Friday, targeting locations in the Golan Heights and Tiberias. The Golan Heights, a strategic plateau seized by Israel from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967 and annexed in 1981, remains a contentious area under Israeli control, considered occupied territory by much of the international community.
