TEHRAN (Iran News) In a statement released on Sunday, Esmaeil Baqaei abhorred the Zionist regime’s anti-human crimes and massacre of people in Palestine and Lebanon, including the latest fatal strikes on a mosque in Deir el-Balah and on residential buildings in Beirut’s Dahiyeh.
He said the Israeli regime’s recent attacks, carried out with the weapons supplied by the US, against the holy sites, schools, mosques and medical centers of Palestine and Lebanon are reminiscent of the crimes committed by the Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorist group.
“The killing of civilians and destruction of civil sites and infrastructures are an indispensable part of ideologies of Zionism and Takfirism,” the spokesman said.
The relentless massacre of displaced Palestinians who have taken shelter in sanctuaries or cultural and medical centers amounts to blatant war crimes and crimes against humanity, Baqaei stated, urging the international community to act seriously and effectively against the “Hitler of new age, namely Netanyahu and the criminal heads of the Zionist regime.”
The Iranian spokesman also cautioned that the Israeli regime’s policy of fomenting insecurity in the region poses a serious threat to international peace and stability, saying inaction in the face of such Israeli crimes will have irreparable consequences for the whole regional countries and beyond.
He finally called on all countries, particularly the Muslim nations, to employ their great potential to deliver immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza and Lebanon and counter the Zionist regime’s policy of terror and regional insecurity.
Israeli strikes on Ibn Rushd school and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Mosque in central Gaza have killed at least 26 Palestinians, as Israel intensified its bombardment of northern Gaza and southern Beirut in its widening war across the region.
The strike hit the mosque and school where displaced people were sheltering near the main hospital in the central town of Deir el-Balah.
The Israeli regime, meanwhile, announced a new air and ground offensive in Jabalia in northern Gaza, home to a densely-populated refugee camp dating back to the 1948 war.
