This is supposedly the statement by the “Islamic resistance in Iraq” taking credit for the missile strike:
“In continuation of our approach to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region, and in response to the Zionist entity’s massacres against our people in Gaza, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacked the “Kharab al-Jir” occupation base deep in Syria with a missile salvo, hitting its targets. The Islamic Resistance confirms its continued destruction of enemy strongholds.”
