Overnight, the IDF’s (Israel Defense Forces) Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a hostile UAV/drone (or drones) that approached Israel from the east. The UAV did not cross into Israeli territory. No injuries were reported.
The IDF did not provide specific details as to where the drone was hit and from where it was launched, or how the drone was shot down.
A Shiite terror group in Iraq took responsibility for the launch and said they were targeting the port of Haifa.
Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Permission is given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, God is able to give them victory.
In continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, and in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women and the elderly, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the port of Haifa in our occupied territories this morning, Wednesday, September 4, 2024, using drones. The Islamic Resistance confirms its continuation in destroying the strongholds of the enemies.
Victory comes only from Allah. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
