Israel denies it. A drone leaves against Eliat –

The military base in central Iraq which hosts Army troops and former pro-Iranian paramilitaries from Hachd al-Chaabi, integrated into the regular forces, was the victim of a “bombing” during the night between Friday and Saturday. Sources from the Army and the Ministry of the Interior have so far been unable to provide information on who was responsible for the action that targeted the base, nor have they said whether it was “a drone attack”. «There are explosions in the warehouses that house the equipment following the bombings», explain the same sources: «A fire is devastating some sectors and the search for the wounded continues. The bombing hit equipment, weapons and vehicles.” The action, which was not immediately claimed, is part of an explosive regional context, fueled by the war in Gaza which pits Israel once morest the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas, each supported by regional or international allies.

«The United States did not conduct air strikes in Iraq today», states the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on X, underlining that the reports that American forces had carried out a raid «are not true». Israeli sources, meanwhile, denied to CNN Tel Aviv’s involvement in last night’s air raid once morest a pro-Iranian militia base in Iraq. The pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, however, claimed responsibility for launching a drone once morest Eliat, in Israel, in response to «Israeli violations of Iraqi sovereignty and its attacks once morest the bases of the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashed al-Shaabi). Ynet writes this following last night’s raid once morest the Calso base in Iraq.
