The Palestinian Resistance factions have praised Iran's True Promise Operation, carried out in retaliation to the Israeli occupation's crimes, including the targeted attack against the Iranian consulate in Syria.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement stated that Iran's response falls within the natural framework against the Israeli occupation's existence, but its necessity gets expedited due to "Israel's" crimes, violations, and assassinations it keeps committing, in loud and clear violations of all legal and humanitarian principles.

The movement denounced all stances taken against Iran and in defense of the Israeli occupation, particularly those that have positioned themselves as a protective wall to defend "Israel" and portray it as the victim in a narrative against all truths.

'Iran's operation change the course of history'

On its part, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) affirmed that Iran's legitimate response shattered the Israeli entity and exposed its fragility, its inability to defend itself, or its ability to re-establish its deterrence mechanism.

At the same time, the Iranian retaliation showcased the Resistance factions and the Islamic Republic's ability to incur heavy blows against the occupation and expedite its internal crisis, according to the PFLP's statement.

It also clarified that some countries' rush to use their arsenal to defend and protect "Israel", including Britain, France, the US, Germany, and some other Arab nations, further affirm their complicity in Israeli crimes in the region and more notably in Gaza.

The PFLP also noted that the Iranian response signifies a turning point in Operation Al Aqsa Flood in favor of the Resistance factions, noting that its repercussions will have effects that pressure the occupation to stop its genocide in Gaza.

The Fatah Al-Intifada movement, in turn, stated that the Iranian response established changes in the rules of engagement in the region and cemented Iran and the Axis of Resistance's position as a deterrent power against Israeli aggression. It also noted that the operation confirmed the unity of the battlefields across the Axis of Resistance's nations.

The statement also added that the hits "Israel" suffered changed the course of history and founded new achievements for the people of Palestine, their liberation, and return.

An inherent right to self-defense

Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas said on Sunday that the Iranian military attack on the Israeli occupation entity is a "natural and deserved response to the aggression against the embassy in Damascus".

In a statement, Hamas added that "the peoples of the region have the right to defend themselves against Israeli aggression", calling on all forces of the nation to continue supporting the Resistance and the wave of Al-Aqsa.

In turn, the Resistance Committees in Palestine praised the "necessary Iranian response" to the Israeli aggression against its consulate in Damascus, stressing that "it is an act of self-defense and an inherent right of the Islamic Republic guaranteed by all international laws."

The committees stated that Iran's operation confirms that "we are living a new reality and glorious historical moments" which were initiated by Operation al-Aqsa flood.
