IRGC hits terrorists in Syria

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says it has fired barrages of missiles at anti-Iranian terrorist groups’ bases in Syria as well as an Israeli espionage center in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. According to the IRGC’s statements, the first missile strike targeted gathering places and main elements of terror groups involved in recent attacks in Iranian cities of Kerman and Rask. It added that the night-time operation, using ballistic missiles, destroyed terrorists’ headquarters in the occupied territories of Syria. The operation came after a recent Daesh-claimed terrorist attack in the Iranian city of Kerman killed nearly 100 people. Another IRGC missile barrage targeted one of the main espionage centers used by Israel’s Mossad spy agency in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. The IRGC said the center was used to develop espionage operations and plan acts of terrorism across the region, especially in Iran. The IRGC also assured the Iranian nation that it will find terrorist groups wherever they are and punish them for their shameful deeds.

Gaza humanitarian crisis

The UN secretary general has called for an immediate ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip, describing the humanitarian situation there as "beyond words." Antonio Guterres emphasized that an immediate ceasefire is needed to ensure sufficient aid gets to those who need it. He warned that the traumatized people of Gaza are now facing the long shadow of starvation. Guterres said a vast majority of the UN’s Palestinian staff have been displaced or killed in more than three months of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The UN says the Israeli onslaught has displaced roughly 85 percent of the territory's population. They have been forced into crowded shelters and are struggling to get food, water, fuel and medical care.

'Natural response to Israel crimes'

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has praised retaliatory operations in the occupied territories as a natural response to the regime’s genocide in the Gaza Strip. Hamas’ statement came after two Israeli settlers were killed and 20 others injured in a combined car ramming and stabbing attack in the central city of Ra'anana near Tel Aviv. It added that the operations were also in response to Israeli crimes against Palestinians in the West Bank. Hamas stressed that retaliatory operations will continue against the Nazi Israeli regime. The Islamic Jihad movement also hailed the operations, calling them a natural response to Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. Tensions are mounting across the occupied territories over Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza strip and the regime’s deadly raids against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
