Coinciding with the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood, the Israeli "National Security" committee declares a state of emergency in prisons: increasingly cracking down on Palestinian prisoners.

The Israeli "National Security" committee approved a proposal for a law declaring a state of emergency in prisons, allowing for changes in the conditions of detainees, in conjunction with the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood being waged by Palestinian resistance fighters.

In this context, the Israeli authorities will be able to imprison detainees without a bed, in violation of the so-called "Residency Law."

Israeli Channel 14 reported that visits will be restricted and prisoners will no longer be granted access to phones and television.

Earlier today, Sayyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that "no one will be able to stand against Muslims and the forces of resistance if the Israeli occupation's crimes continue in Gaza."

Sayyed Khamenei blamed the United States for supporting the Zionist regime's policies, stating that the ongoing events were a result of Washington's policies.

He added that the Israeli occupation, no matter what it does, "will not be able to compensate for the humiliating defeat it suffered": emphasizing that "Israel" must stop its airstrikes against Gaza at once.

Furthermore, the Iranian leader drew attention to the massacres committed by the occupation "before the world," describing it as a "genocide" and calling for the "Israeli government to be sent to trial."

In response to narratives incriminating the Palestinian resistance for killing "Israeli civilians", Sayyed Khamenei said that settlers are not civilians and are all armed.

The leader of the Islamic revolution further noted that profound anger grips the masses of Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Islamic countries, and even in the West, about the populous international demonstrations held in support of Palestine and the Palestinian resistance.
