"The fighters of the Islamic Resistance of Iraq targeted on Sunday morning a strategic location in the occupied territories using drones," the Iraqi coalition said in a statement on Telegram, referring to Israel, and adding it was carried out "in support of our people in Gaza".

The attack caused no injuries, according to the Israeli army.

The Islamic Resistance of Iraq has claimed several drone attacks targeting Israel in recent months, which Israel claims to have intercepted.

Last winter, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq also claimed more than 175 rocket and drone attacks against United States troops in Iraq and Syria.

US forces carried out multiple retaliatory strikes against these militant factions in both countries.

The attacks on American troops have largely subsided in the past few months.
