Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, strongly condemned the latest attacks carried out by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.
In an official statement, Baghaei said, “We condemn the continuous Israeli attacks on Gaza and hold the occupation responsible for the persistence of these crimes.”
The spokesperson called on countries serving as guarantors of the Gaza ceasefire to fulfill their responsibilities by “compelling the Israeli regime to end its ongoing aggression.”
Baghaei added that the occupation “has repeatedly violated agreements and exploited declared truces to continue its crimes against the Palestinian people.”
Earlier, Tehran reaffirmed its support for any initiative that includes ending the genocidal war against Palestinians, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the delivery of humanitarian aid, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the restoration of Palestinians’ fundamental rights.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry also warned of what it described as “the Israeli regime’s deception and its repeated violations of international agreements and commitments.”
'Israel' violates ceasefire already
The Israeli occupation forces have violated the recently declared ceasefire in Gaza, launching new drone strikes across the Strip that killed seven Palestinians and wounded several others, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent and Palestinian media outlets.
Israeli media outlets admitted that the occupation's military resumed its attacks on Tuesday, just three days after the ceasefire came into effect, reigniting tensions amid ongoing humanitarian devastation in the besieged territory.
Our correspondents confirmed that five Palestinians were martyred after being targeted by Israeli drones in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza also reported that Israeli occupation forces struck the Halawa displacement camp in Jabalia al-Balad, north of the Strip, injuring several displaced civilians.
In the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian man was killed and another was injured in a drone strike on al-Fakhari, east of Khan Younis. Israeli drones also dropped bombs near Aabasan Clinic and on Abu Salah Street in Aabasan al-Kabira, further heightening fear among residents attempting to return to their homes.
Ceasefire agreement under threat
The latest Israeli violations come just days after Hamas political leader Khalil al-Hayya, head of the Palestinian negotiating delegation, announced that a comprehensive ceasefire agreement had been reached.
