Islamic Resistance in Iraq to Begin New Phase in Confronting Enemies

By Al Mayadeen English

Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces the beginning of a new phase in confronting enemies next week, stressing it would be "tougher and broader on their bases in the region".

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced, at dawn on Friday, that it “will begin next week a new phase in confronting the enemies, in support of Palestine, and in revenge for the martyrs", stressing that it will be "tougher and broader against the enemy’s bases in the region."

The Iraqi Islamic Resistance continues to target American bases in Iraq and Syria in conjunction with Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Earlier on Thursday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it attacked a vital target for the Israeli occupation on the coast of the Dead Sea.

The Resistance said, in a statement, that the attack came in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also confirmed that it would continue to "strike the enemy's strongholds." Shortly after, Al Mayadeen's sources reported that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted American forces in Erbil with two kamikaze drones.

For his part, the Secretary-General of Kataib Hezbollah Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi said on Wednesday that the faction had set its mind on liberating Iraq, utilizing military means. "This is settled," he sternly said.

Sheikh al-Kaabi promised that the movement would continue its armed struggle until the goal of expelling United States military forces from Iraq was achieved. 

"We will not stop, we will not settle, we will not back out," the leader emphasized, promising greater action in the coming days.

Earlier on October 30, the Secretary General of the Badr Organization in Iraq, Hadi Al-Amiri stated that "It is time for the (US-led) international coalition forces to leave Iraq, as there is no longer a need or justification for their presence."

Al-Amiri added that as long as they were present "no one expects to build the military capabilities of the Iraqi army and other security institutions."

He expressed his belief that it was "shameful" for some to suggest that US troops remain in the country under the pretext of helping the Iraqi security forces, particularly after the great achievements of the Iraqi military and resistance in their battle against ISIS.

The secretary-general expressed that the Iraqi government must take all necessary measures to reach a specific and short-term exit schedule for the international coalition forces in Iraq, without procrastination.
