Over the last 24 Hours, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed to have launched at least Five Drone Attacks against Northern and Southern Israel. Despite several of these Attacks occurring almost everyday, and a recent Attack causing the Death of Two Israeli Soldiers, we still have yet to see any kind of Serious Military Action by Israel against Iranian-Backed Forces in Iraq; we have seen Strikes now against Yemen, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and even Iran, but not Iraq. While this is likely due to Pressure from the United States, Iโm not sure how much longer Israel can continue to do nothing against these Groups.
