Baghdad [Iraq], March 19: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of pro-Iran armed groups, says it launched a drone attack at an Israeli airbase in the occupied Golan Heights.
There were no immediate reports of the attack by the Israeli military or in Israeli media, but the Jordanian army earlier announced suspicious aerial movements from an unknown source along its border with Syria.
In a statement, the Islamic Resistance said its attack against the Israeli airbase was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and that it would "double" such attacks against "enemy strongholds" during Ramadan. It comes after the Islamic Resistance, on March 11, claimed to target Israel's Ben Gurion Airport with explosive drones, although no reports confirmed the airport was ever hit. The Islamic Resistance has regularly waged attacks on US military bases in Iraq during the war on Gaza.
Meanwhile, an overnight Israeli air raid hit a Hezbollah "military structure and observation post" in the southern border village of Ramyah, the Israeli military has said on Telegram. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israel and Hezbollah have traded near daily cross-border fire during the Gaza war. Some of Israel's attacks have reached as far as the city of Baalbek in Lebanon, 100km (62 miles) from the border.
At least 35 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank in raids overnight and this morning, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said.
Among those arrested is Rawda Abu Ajmiyeh, a Palestinian former prisoner who was released in the exchange deal between Israel and Hamas in November.
Abu Ajmiyeh was detained from her home in the Dheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem, along with two men.
At least 13 of the 240 Palestinians released in November have been rearrested, with 11 of them remaining in Israeli custody, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said.
