TEHRAN – Iran on Saturday hailed the Palestinian operation against Israel as “a turning point and a new chapter” in their resistance against the Zionists.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said the Operation Al-Aqsa Storm “shows the Palestinian resistance is confidently capable of conducting hybrid and multilateral operations against the occupiers.”
Kanaani extended congratulations to the Palestinian people and all resistance groups over the operation.
“What happened today is in line with the continuation of the victories of the resistance in the face of the Zionists in various fields, including in Syria, Lebanon and the occupied territories.”
He said the operation once again proved that Israelis are vulnerable in the face of a serious move and lack the spirit to resist.
The Iranian diplomat expressed hope that resistance would succeed in achieving more victories in the path towards the liberation of Palestine.
A top military adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Iran supports the “courageous” Palestinian operation against Israel.
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said Iran will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Al-Quds. He expressed confidence the resistance front would also support the operation.
The senior Iranian military official lamented the fact that Israel keeps killing Palestinian children and youths as international organizations keep silent and show no reaction.

He emphasized that Zionists must be punished for their crimes against the Palestinian children. He urged the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take practical measures in that regard.
