IRGC Calls for A United Muslim Front against Israel

Muslim countries should use every means necessary to end the relentless oppression of the Palestinian nation, the IRGC said in a statement on Wednesday, on the occasion of the first anniversary of Israel’s massacre of Palestinians at the Mamdani Hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“We expect all Muslim nations and Islamic governments to rise alongside the great nation of Iran and the fighters of Islamic Resistance in a united front against the Zionist regime,” the IRGC said.

The IRGC urged its audience to fulfill their historical role and mission.

On October 17, 2023, Israel launched an airstrike on the Mamdani Hospital, also known as Ahli Arab Hospital. The regime massacred more than 500 Palestinians. Many of the victims were taking shelter there from days of ruthless Israeli bombardment of the blockaded territory.

“One year after the wolfish and diabolical regime’s atrocity in bombing the Mamdani Hospital in Gaza, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of innocent individuals seeking shelter and care at this medical center, the remembrance of this horrific crime stirs the sorrow and regret of humanity.”

The massacre at the ill-fated hospital triggered global outrage, producing an outpouring of condemnation worldwide against the Tel Aviv regime.

“After enduring the humiliation and disgrace of a historic defeat in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the illegitimate and bloodthirsty regime carried out the brutal bombing of the Mamdani Hospital, fabricating claims and staging false scenes regarding the activities of Hamas and the powerful and steadfast Islamic resistance in hospitals and medical centers.”

“This atrocity further exposed the indifference and inaction of international human rights organizations regarding their fundamental duties. There, today under the shadow of this indifference and deadly silence, humanity witnesses the unrestrained actions and savagery of Zionists not only in Gaza but also in Lebanon,” the IRGC said.

Israel has killed over 2,300 people and injured nearly 11,000 in Lebanon since early October 2023, according to Lebanon’s Public Health Ministry.

Over the same period, the regime has been busy with its campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip. It has killed over 42,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

“The diabolical Zionist regime alone has martyred more than 500 doctors, nurses, and patients in the bombing of the Mamdani Hospital in Gaza. Since then, it has targeted 141 hospitals in Gaza, four hospitals in Lebanon, and one hospital belonging to the Red Crescent of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the Syria-Lebanon border,” the statement read, according to Press TV.

The IRGC said there is no doubt the crime of attacking hospitals filled with innocent women, children, the wounded, and the sick has been marked as a glaring point in the record of the Zionist regime’s crimes against humanity, and the disgrace generated by the regime and its supporters will forever remain in human history.

"The supporters of the crimes committed by this depraved regime, especially the United States, which encourages and facilitates Zionist usurpers in the mass killing of people in Gaza and Lebanon through the deployment of military forces, provision of various deadly weapons, and political, security, and intelligence support, are considered accomplices and partners in their crimes and must be held accountable before competent courts, as well as before human conscience and history."

The statement emphasized the necessity of forming an international front to bring human rights institutions and organizations out of inaction regarding the condemnation and punishment of the criminals responsible for these atrocities.

“The IRGC recognizes as undeniable the legitimate right of the oppressed and suffering people of Palestine to self-determination and liberation from the oppression and tyranny of the occupiers. It will not hesitate to provide firm support for the Islamic resistance.”
