The Times of Israel reported on 9/22 that Iran-backed militias in Iraq claimed responsibility for firing two cruise missiles and two drones, none of which hit Israeli territory. This is the latest of many reported attacks by the group "in support of [their] people in Gaza".

The same Iraqi group has claimed to have launched numerous drones at Israel amid the war in the Gaza Strip, most of which failed to cross Israel’s border or were downed by air defenses.

It claimed responsibility for a drone attack earlier this month, saying it fired the weapon at the port city of Haifa. That too was shot down before it entered Israeli airspace, the IDF said at the time.

Last week an Israeli fighter jet intercepted a drone near the Sea of Galilee that had been launched from Iraq, the IDF said. The drone set off sirens in Tiberias and several other communities.
