The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson says the martyrdom of some Resistance commanders will not prevent Palestinians from responding to the Israeli aggression.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani stressed that the ongoing Resistance in Gaza against the Israeli occupation aggression should not cause a decline in the accountability of Islamic governments for supporting the Palestinian cause.

Palestine and its Resistance groups stand united, determined, and equipped; and the Israeli occupation will achieve nothing from its crimes, Kanaani tweeted.

Kanaani pointed out that in two days, the Israeli occupation targeted about 200 points in the Gaza Strip, most of which were residential areas, leaving more than 25 martyrs and dozens wounded, mainly children and women.

Despite the atrocities of the Zionists, Palestine stands oppressed but powerful, and the martyrdom of some Resistance commanders will not prevent Palestinians from responding to the Israeli aggression, the Iranian official underlined.

اشغالگران طی ۲ روز حدود ۲۰۰ نقطه در نوار غزه را هدف گرفتند. عمده اهداف رژیم، اماکن مسکونی بود که تاکنون بیش از ۲۵ شهید و دهها مجروح بویژه از کودکان و زنان برجای گذاشت.
برغم قساوت صهیونیستها، فلسطین مظلوم اما مقتدر می‌ایستد وشهادت برخی فرماندهان مقاومت،مانع پاسخ به رژیم نخواهد شد.

On Tuesday, Kanaani said the Israeli occupation's act of terrorism on the eve of Nakba Day is a sign of "Israel's" helplessness and weakness against the heroic Resistance of the Palestinian youth in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds.

Kanaani considered that the recent Israeli aggression against Gaza was aimed at diverting public opinion from the extremely unstable and critical internal situation of the Israeli occupation.

The Iranian spokesperson pointed out that the silence and inaction of international organizations and Western countries toward the Israeli occupation's inhumane actions allowed "Israel" to pursue its criminal acts.

The official underlined that the so-called advocates of human rights will go down in history as despicable for failing to oppose Israeli crimes.

Elsewhere, Kanaani stressed the need for an immediate, effective, and coordinated measure to stop the Israeli occupation crime machine.

"This criminal action endangers stability and peace in the Middle East region," the top Cuban diplomat indicated.

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its heinous aggression against the Gaza Strip for the third day in a row, while the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of Palestinians martyred, as a result, has risen to 25, in addition to more than 70 injuries.
