The chief commander of the Iranian Army says Israel is shedding the blood of innocent Palestinians to make up for its “humiliating defeat” in the Gaza war, warning that the atrocities will only speed up the regime’s demise.
Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi made the remarks on Tuesday, as 95 days of bloody aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip has brought no success for the occupying entity.
“Under the support of the US and other Western countries, the illegitimate Zionist regime is taking revenge on unarmed and defenseless children, women and civilians for its heavy and historic defeat at the hands of Hamas,” he said, referring to the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance group.
“Of course, nothing will make up for its (Israel’s) humiliating defeat. The pure blood [of the Palestinian people] will hasten the downfall of the Zionist apartheid regime.”
Israel waged the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 23,084 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 58,926 others.
Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble in the Gaza Strip, which is under “complete siege” by Israel.
Kerman carnage committed by those ‘not capable of fighting’
Referring to the recent terrorist bomb attacks in the Iranian city of Kerman, Mousavi said it was carried out by “the black-hearted who are not capable of fighting in the field.”
On Wednesday, 91 people were killed and hundreds injured in two explosions near the burial site of Iran’s late anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani during a ceremony marking the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the US. The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly bombings.
