Iran Asks Int’l Community to End Israeli Atrocities


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif asked international circles to take decisive action to end the atrocities of the Israeli regime.

In separate letters to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Iyad bin Amin Madani, and Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby, the Iranian foreign minister condemned the atrocities of the Zionist regime, calling for decisive action to stop the killing of innocent people.

Over 80 Palestinian people have been killed in three days of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian sources.

On Thursday, at least dozens of Palestinians lost their lives in a series of Israeli air attacks targeting different parts of the besieged enclave, including the city of Khan Yunis and the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Hundreds of people have also been injured in the Israeli airstrikes.

At least 18 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday. More causalities are feared as Israel prepares for a ground military operation. The Israeli Chief of Staff Benny Gantz approved plans to send ground forces into Gaza.
