The Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee, a group of militia factions, vows to increase attacks on Israel if tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon escalate into all-out war, Al Mayadeen reports.
The pro-Hezbollah Lebanese outlet also says that the committee threatened Washington, saying that in the case of war between Israel and Hezbollah, US interests in Iraq and across the Middle East would become a legitimate target.
Iran-backed militias in Iraq have claimed a number of drone attacks on the southern city of Eilat in the last several months.
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza during the war there.
Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along its border following the October 7 atrocities, and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward.
