Kuwait Airways is resuming commercial flights to Iraq’s Najaf city starting from Saturday, Kuwaiti state news agency KUNA reported.

The Gulf state’s flag carrier suspended its flights to Iraq last month after several rockets landed in Iraq’s Baghdad International Airport compound, damaging at least one disused civilian airplane.

Six rockets struck the Baghdad airport on January 28 damaging two commercial planes belonging to Iraqi Airways, the main national airline.

The incident marked an escalation in rocket and drone attacks often targeting the US and its allies, as well as Iraqi government institutions. The attacks were blamed on Iran-backed militia groups.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli military attack against Iran describing it as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and international law, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.
In a press release, the OIC reaffirmed its stance against any escalation that could further destabilize the region, calling on the international community and influential actors to work toward reducing tensions and putting an end to the cycle of violence.
OIC reiterated its firm position and called for an immediate and urgent halt to the Israeli aggression in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes hit several military targets in Iran in retaliation for an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this month.
