Iraqi authorities are investigating suspected Israeli airstrikes on two weapons depots near Baghdad last week. The weapons warehouses stored Chinese-made air defense systems that had recently been transferred from Iran to militias aligned with Tehran. A significant shipment of weapons was destroyed in the suspected attacks. Iran-backed groups moved advanced air defense equipment and drones into Iraq during the ceasefire to bolster their positions. An explosion on October 17 at the PMF facility injured five people. Iraqi officials suspect Israeli involvement but have not confirmed who is responsible or how the attacks were carried out.
