BAGHDAD - The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a Shi'ite militia group, on Monday claimed responsibility for carrying out two drone strikes on Israeli sites in the Jordan Valley, which forms Jordan's western border with Israel and the West Bank.

The group said in separate statements that the strikes were carried out "in solidarity with our people in Palestine and Lebanon," pledging to continue targeting "the enemy's strongholds at an escalating pace."
