A recent drone strike that killed two Israeli soldiers has put Iraqi factions on high alert for potential retaliation from Israel. Iraqi factions allied with Iran have intensified coordination and cooperation to prepare for any Israeli attacks following the deadly strike in the Golan Heights area of Syria.
The factions have informed the Iraqi government of their stance and are ready to defend themselves against any aggression, even targeting American interests if necessary. The leader of the ruling Coordination Framework coalition in Iraq has affirmed their readiness to face Israeli attacks, stating that any aggression will not go unanswered.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Israel is already gearing up to take action against armed groups in Iraq. The former Prime Minister of Israel has stressed the urgent need for retaliation, indicating that a significant response may be imminent.
As tensions escalate, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed responsibility for the drone attack and stands prepared to support Hezbollah in Lebanon if needed. Humanitarian organizations are calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon as the Israeli bombardment claims lives and displaces thousands.
