Israeli forces afraid of face-to-face battles with Palestinian fighters: Iranian cmdr.

The spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces says Israeli military forces are terribly afraid of face-to-face engagement with the Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip, stating that the Tel Aviv regime is heavily bombing civilians out of despair.

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi made the remarks at an event in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman on Saturday to mark the national Student Day and the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance, which Iranians celebrate on November 4.

“World powers are incapable of confronting the small group of Hamas. They are afraid of fighting face-to-face [battles] with Hamas, and therefore target women and children out of desolation and humiliation. Such atrocities and bloodshed will not last long, as Palestine and resistance groups will eventually emerge victorious,” Shekarchi said.

He highlighted that superpowers cannot fight off Hamas resistance fighters, as the Gaza-based group is at the forefront of the struggle to restore the Palestinian nation’s inalienable rights and liberate the Israeli-occupied Palestinian lands.

Turkey 'crossed out' Netanyahu, will bring Israel’s war crimes to ICC: Erdogan

Erdogan says Turkey has “crossed out” Netanyahu over the ongoing war in Gaza, adding that it will do everything to bring Israeli war crimes in the besieged enclave to the ICC.

The Iranian commander went on to say that more than 3,000 children have lost their lives as a result of Israel’s genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip, stating that the most notable victory for the Muslim world following the Operation al-Aqsa Storm was the board consensus among Muslim and non-Muslim nations to censure the oppressive and bloodthirsty Israeli regime.

Shekarchi said the presence of commanders from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) as well as the US Army and Navy in Tel Aviv is meant to boost the Israeli military’s morale, since the Operation al-Aqsa Storm by Gaza’s resistance fighters brought utter disgrace upon the force.

“With every day of the war that passes, Israel sinks further into the quagmire of collapse. There is no option left for Israel's child-killing regime other than downfall.”

The spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces said Americans have publicly demonstrated their unconditional support for the occupying Israeli regime, stating that most member states of the US-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) threw their backing behind Israel in the aftermath of the heroic and successful Operation al-Aqsa Storm in a clear manifestation of oppression against the long downtrodden residents of Gaza.

Satellite analysis shows quarter of buildings in northern Gaza destroyed, damaged

A satellite analysis shows that at least a quarter of buildings in the northern part of the Gaza Strip has been either destroyed or damaged by Israeli strikes.

The death toll from Israel’s genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip has reached at least 9,572 people, including 3,900 children. More than 26,000 people have been wounded as well. Another 1,950 individuals are reported missing, including at least 1,050 children, who may have died or be trapped under the rubble waiting to be rescued.

The Tel Aviv regime launched the war after Gaza's resistance groups conducted Operation al-Aqsa Storm, their biggest operation against the occupying entity in years. Since the onset of the war, the United States has backed Israel's ferocious attacks on the Palestinian territory as a means of "self-defense."

Washington has also been casting its veto against the United Nations Security Council resolution that calls on the occupying regime to cease its aggression.
