Iran launched a missile attack overnight targeting a camp of Iranian-Kurdish opposition forces in northern Iraq, according to a single report from journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The report specifies that the attack involved missiles rather than drones, marking a shift from earlier incidents in this series. Details on casualties and damage are not yet available.
The Zioneer has been tracking a wave of Iranian strikes against Kurdish opposition groups in northern Iraq since at least June 7. On Sun Jul 12 at 20:52 Jerusalem, initial reports described a drone strike on a weapons depot in Sulaymaniyah, followed by a separate report of a drone hitting a Kurdish opposition camp. The current report, filed overnight, is the first in this thread to specify missiles as the weapon system, though the target type remains consistent with earlier incidents.
As The Zioneer reported on June 7, Iranian missiles struck Kurdish opposition bases near Erbil, with footage released by the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK). On June 8, an Iranian opposition camp north of Erbil was hit by explosive drones, according to security sources cited by Saudi outlet Al-Hadath. On June 10, Iranian ballistic missiles were fired at Kurdish opposition headquarters, and a Shahed-136 loitering munition was launched toward the same area. On July 9, widespread drone attacks were reported against Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan region. The current attack follows this established pattern of Iranian operations against Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The report remains unverified beyond a single source, and no independent confirmation of the attack, its scale, or any casualties has emerged. It is unclear whether this missile strike is a continuation of the same operation reported on Sunday evening or a new, separate incident.
