An Iran-backed Iraqi militia launched a drone attack in northern Israel early Tuesday, according to Iranian state media.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed several of its drones targeted Haifa, a port city in northern Israel, in response to Israeli military action in Gaza and Lebanon, the state media said.
Israel Defense Forces said it shot down one drone that entered Israeli airspace from the direction of Syria overnight, the Times of Israel reported.
The reported drone attack comes as the entire Middle East region teeters on the edge of being engulfed in a wider regional conflict over the ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iranian proxies Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon.
