Iran Is Using Its Iraqi Proxies to Attack Israel and to Try to Smuggle Arms to the West Bank

While stirring up unrest in Jordan.

On Sunday morning, Iraqi terrorists hit a naval base in the southern Israeli city of Eilat with a drone, damaging a building but not causing any injuries. Michael Knights and Hamdi Malik calculate that Iran-backed militias in Iraq have launched 40 attacks on Israel since November 2 of last year, most of which fell short or were intercepted. They also observe an overall increase in the frequency of attacks, except for a pause in the second half of February in response to American retaliatory strikes.
