Bahraini Islamic Resistance Launches Drone Attack on Occupied Palestinian Territories
The Al-Ashtar Brigades claimed responsibility for the drone attack on the Israeli-controlled port of Eilat (Umm Al-Rashrash).
It said in a statement that the attack, which took place on May 2, targeted vital infrastructure in the port, marking the first such operation by the group.
The reports come after an earlier report on Thursday, that the group claimed responsibility for a drone attack on 27 April, targeting the headquarters of an Israeli company Trucknet, which is based in Eilat. Some outlets have conflated the two incidents, while others have claimed it was the first of two separate attacks.
The group said the targets had been hit to support the people of the Gaza Strip in their struggle against the occupation regime. The statement also said operations against Israel will continue unless there is a stop to the war and blockade on Gaza.
Over the past months, the same port has been targeted by other groups within the Axis of Resistance, notably Yemen’s Ansarullah-aligned armed forces, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

The naval blockade imposed by Ansarullah has disrupted activity in the port to such an extent that in March, Gideon Golber, the CEO of Eilat Port, was quoted as saying: “Every month, we had between 12 and 13 ships coming and going, and now we have 0.”
The Al-Ashtar Brigades are named after a companion of Imam Ali (AS), Malik Al-Ashtar.
