ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Thursday that it carried out 23 attacks against its opponents in Iraq and the wider region over the past 24 hours.
In a statement, the group said the assaults targeted the bases of their opponents using missiles and drones. Over the 27 days of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the group claims to have carried out nearly 600 attacks.
“Since the outbreak of the current war, we have carried out 595 attacks,” the statement read. “The highest number of attacks in a single day was on March 17, with 47 attacks, while the lowest was on March 12, with 13 attacks.”
The group, which is a network of Iraqi militia groups backed by Iran, claims it launches its rocket and drone strikes against US military targets in Iraq and the wider region.
The attacks come amid the United States and Israel's joint military campaign against Iran, which began on February 28. The group has reportedly targeted diplomatic centers and residential areas in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region in support of Iran.
The Kurdistan Region has experienced sustained aerial attacks since the start of the regional conflict, with Rudaw tracking confirming that more than 450 drones and missiles have been launched toward its territory.
