Israel Had Better Cease Crimes in Gaza: Iran’s Top General
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The highest-ranking Iranian military commander cautioned the Zionist regime to abandon its atrocities against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
It will be in the Zionist regime’s interest to stop committing crimes against Palestinians, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said at a military exhibition in Tehran on Saturday.
He emphasized that the Palestinian people, with various religions and faiths, must be free to decide their own fate.
Lauding the Palestinian combatants for standing against the Israeli regime’s brutal aggression, the top commander said “the front of the truth” will definitely emerge victorious.
At least 17,487 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza since October 7.
In remarks on November 2022, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the Zionist regime has been "knocked out" in the Al-Aqsa Storm operation that the Palestinian resistance forces had launched outside Gaza.
The Leader also stressed that the heavy defeat that the Zionist regime suffered will not be compensated by these crimes. "They should know that this oppression and these atrocities will not go unanswered and the bombings will shorten the life of the usurping regime."
