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 Secretariat General of the Muslim World League (MWL) on Saturday condemned the Israeli military attack on Iran, cautioning against the danger and serious repercussions of escalation.
The MWL urged the international community to assume its responsibilities and work to solve these conflicts and their repercussions, address their underlying causes, and remain vigilant for their early warnings.

Also, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi issued a statement condemning the Israeli military targeting of Iran, describing this action as a violation of Iran’s sovereignty and a breach of international laws and norms.
He reaffirmed the council's rejection of these military operations and called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid the consequences of continued military conflicts in the region.
Albudaiwi also called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and work to de-escalate the situation.
