The Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the "ongoing genocide" perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and considered that the recent attacks on defenseless civilians amount to "unprecedented war crimes."

Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said the brutal massacres carried out over the past week in various areas of the Gaza Strip, which targeted residential neighborhoods, shelters, and tents for displaced people, constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, calling for urgent action to halt the aggression.

Baghaei added that the repeated Israeli bombing of displacement centers and the recent attack on the Mustafa Hafez School in Gaza City reflect the systematic nature of the aggression, holding the United States, Germany, and whoever supports the occupation responsible for the continued "crimes against humanity" in the Strip.

Rising toll

Just yesterday, the Health Ministry in Gaza reported that hospitals received 118 martyrs and 581 injuries due to ongoing Israeli aggression, as emergency and civil defense teams face difficulties in reaching countless victims still trapped beneath the rubble or lying in the streets due to relentless bombardment.

Twelve Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid were gunned down, while 49 others sustained injuries at the so-called aid distribution sites, the Ministry further revealed, raising the cumulative death toll from aid massacres to 652 martyrs and over 4,537 injured.

This, according to the Ministry, brings the total number of Palestinians martyred since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, to 57,130, with 135,173 people injured. Since March 18, 2025, alone, Gaza has recorded 6,572 martyrs and 23,132 injuries, reflecting the intensification of Israeli attacks in recent months.

West Bank exposes Israeli expansionist ambitions

The Iranian Foreign Ministry considered the repeated statements by Israeli officials regarding the “annexation” of the entire West Bank to be a "dangerous indication of the expansionist ambitions" of the occupation entity and indicative of the advancement of a colonial project aimed at erasing Palestine "as a nation and a deeply rooted historical identity."

Tehran also called on the international community and Islamic countries to take "urgent and serious" action in support of the Palestinian cause and to prevent Judaization and uprooting schemes.

Demolitions exceed 1,000, killings exceed 55 since January

Israeli military operations in the occupied West Bank have resulted in the demolition of more than 1,000 Palestinian homes and the killing of at least 55 people since January, Anadolu reported, citing two Palestinian media committees, as of June 29.

The destruction has concentrated on three northern West Bank refugee camps: Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams, with operations intensifying since January 21.

These raids are part of a protracted military campaign characterized by home demolitions, infrastructure destruction, and the occupation of residential buildings.

In a related context, the Iranian Foreign Ministry commended the efforts of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, in exposing what it described as "the brutal crimes of the Israeli entity," denouncing what it called "increasing pressure" exerted by the United States and other supporters of "Israel" to silence her.
