Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani strongly condemned, in a statement, the Israeli raid against the Jenin camp in Occupied Palestine's West Bank which took place on Thursday morning and resulted in the martyrdom of 10 Palestinians and the injury of dozens.
Kanaani denounced the inaction of the international bodies and Western states who claim to be human rights advocates and slammed the silence maintained over the daily crimes committed by the occupying regime as saddening and disgraceful.
The spokesperson called the Islamic governments supporting the oppressed Palestinian nation and the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian nation to be united against the occupiers and urged serious action to prevent this terrorism from happening again.
Hezbollah condemns the Israeli aggression
In a statement issued on Thursday, Hezbollah praised the Jenin camp residents and the Palestinian resistance factions' confrontation with the Israeli aggression and their thwarting of the occupation's goals, forcing it to collapse after hours of confrontations.
"We call on the brave resistance fighters who write with their pure blood the dawn of Palestine's imminent victory," the statement said, expressing its full solidarity with the camp's heroes and other resistance fighters in the face of the occupation and its criminality.
Hezbollah also condemned the Israeli aggression against the camp, strongly denouncing the terrorist practices carried out by the occupation forces, their storming of hospitals, and their brutal assault on the wounded, violating all moral and human laws.
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) raided the Jenin camp in Occupied Palestine's West Bank early on Thursday morning, leaving residents and popular resistance groups with no choice but to defend themselves and confront the occupation forces.
It is also worth noting that as part of the raid that was launched against Palestinians, the IOF prevented ambulance crews from entering the region. That being said, there have been multiple reports of Palestinians being directly targeted with live fire.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that there were 20 injuries as a result of live munition from the Israeli occupation forces, including three civilians in critical condition while adding that there were dozens of suffocations as a result of the IOF raiding the Jenin Governmental Hospital.
Consequently, the Palestinian resistance factions denounced the Israeli raid and stressed that "the Israeli enemy will pay the price for its crimes."
Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif al-Qanou said, "The ongoing confrontations in Jenin, the Resistance's engagement in the face of the [Israeli] special forces in Jenin, as well as yesterday's confrontations in Silwan and al-Tor, bear witness to the rise of a popular Palestinian revolution which will not be hindered until it deters the occupation, put an end to its crimes, and sweeps it off of the land of Palestine."
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement affirmed that "the steadfastness and valor of the resistance in the Jenin camp is a clear indication that Palestinians value their right, hold on to it, and are defending it, regardless of the sacrifices."
