TEHRAN (Iran News) –We Iranians strongly believe in this proverb which says “old habits die hard” and we can use it for the Zionist regime who never quits bloodshed and crimes because savagery is its blood and nobody expects it to quit.
In recent months Israeli forces have continued their crimes and bloodsheds especially against the Palestinians and they attack and kill Palestinians under any pretext and they wait for no serious response from international bodies because they are deaf and dumb and cannot see and hear what crimes the Zionists commit.
In the early hours of Tuesday, Israel launched airstrikes on several areas across Gaza, leaving 13 people killed, including three high-profile commanders of al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement, as well as their wives and children. Twenty people were also injured in the attacks.
This is not the first time that in recent weeks Israeli forces commit such crimes as they have ramped up strikes since holy month of Ramadhan especially since the time massive protests have hit Israel and it seems the Israeli government wants to distract people inside and outside the country by such attacks on Palestinians.
Widespread international condemnations poured in after the Israeli regime carried out fresh airstrikes against the Gaza Strip, leaving at least 13 Palestinians dead and 20 others wounded.
In a statement on Tuesday, Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the latest Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave, saying such crimes will only strengthen the determination of Palestinian people to continue their struggle against the occupying regime.
The ministry also underlined the need to stop these crimes and hold the Israeli authorities accountable, while emphasizing that Damascus will stand by Palestinians.
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry also denounced the Israeli aggression on Gaza in a statement, saying Amman will continue its efforts to immediately stop the violence and restore calm.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry denounced as “unacceptable” the Israeli attacks on Gaza, noting that Ankara expects these tensions to stop before they lead to new conflicts in the region.
Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt strongly condemned the latest Israeli strikes on Gaza, saying they are in violation of international law.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also condemned “the barbaric crime” committed by Israel in Gaza, urging the international community to fulfill its duties in supporting the Palestinians and holding the Israeli regime accountable.
Also, the Palestinian Fatah movement denounced the criminal act of the Israeli regime, saying these attacks will strengthen the Palestinians’ determination “to defeat the invaders.”
The Palestinian resistance movements of Hamas and Islamic Jihad have also condemned the attacks, vowing to take revenge for the blood of those martyred in Gaza.
Dawood Shahab, an Islamic Jihad official, said that there would be a “unified Palestinian response” to the strikes at a time and place of its choosing.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh also warned that Israel will “pay the price” for the killings. “Assassinating the leaders with a treacherous operation will not bring security to the occupier, but rather more resistance,” Haniyeh, who lives in exile, said in a statement.
Separately, Tor Wennesland, the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East, condemned the Israeli airstrikes which have resulted in the death of Palestinian civilians.
“I am deeply alarmed by developments in Gaza after Israel launched a military operation this morning targeting members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ),” he said in a statement.
“The Israeli airstrikes inside Gaza resulted in the killing of 13 Palestinians, including three members of PIJ, a doctor, five women and four children, and more than 20 injured. I condemn the deaths of civilians in the Israeli airstrikes. This is unacceptable,” he added.
Wennesland further urged “all concerned to exercise maximum restraint and avoid an escalation.”
“I remain fully engaged with all sides in an attempt to avoid a broader conflict with devastating consequences for all,” he said.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry also strongly condemned Israel’s latest terrorist aerial attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip that left dozens killed and injured.
Spokesman Nasser Kanaani said silence and inaction of international organizations and Western countries towards Israel’s “inhumane acts”, which have been intensified against the Palestinian people in recent months, have emboldened the Tel Aviv regime to continue its crimes.
He called for immediate, effective, deterrent and coordinated action by Muslim countries to stop the “killing and crime machine” of the Zionist regime.
As we see there is no serious reaction from the Western countries who claim they are supporters of human rights and they have remained silent and it means they are not ready to condemn Israel and even they may support the Zionist regime in secret.
Wennesland has been the only person from an international body who has condemned the Zionists’ crime and other international bodies have been on-lookers.
So we cannot expect the fake Israeli regime to quit its bloodshed habit and one cannot expect international bodies to take serious action against Israel and Palestinians themselves should take action against this fake regime and Muslim states are better to rush to help Palestinians rather than only issuing statements because Palestine needs real support from Muslim nations in their intifada against Israel.
But Israel whose decline has started for years will be unable to survive recent domestic protests and instability and all of them are signs for the decline of this regime and imminent liberation of the Occupied Lands, and this will happen soon and unity of Muslims and their full support like what they do on the Quds Day will accelerate the destruction of Israel.
