Iran Condemns Zionist Regime's Savage Attack On Gaza

Tehran, June 17, IRNA – Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham on Tuesday denounced the Zionist regimeˈs barbarian attacks on Gaza Strip and West Bank. According to Foreign Ministry Media Department, she added that undoubtedly such terror attacks will further consolidate the Palestinian nationˈs resolve to liberate the occupied lands. Afkham asked the international community including the regional and international organizations to prevent Tel Aviv criminal actions. The Gaza and West Bank invasions stem from the Zionist regimeˈs helplessness in the face of the Islamic resistance, she concluded. Zionist regime warplanes had carried out multiple attacks on the Gaza Strip, hitting several areas in the besieged enclave including the city of Khan Yunis. The Zionist troops frequently targets Palestinians particularly along the border with the besieged enclave. Gaza has been blockaded since June 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty./end
