Army Cmdr.:
Israel’s atrocious campaign in Gaza bears no military value

MEHR: The commander of the Iranian Army has strongly censured the ongoing Israeli military onslaught against Gazan people, emphasizing that the atrocious campaign in the besieged territory bears no military value.
Speaking at a Thursday ceremony in the western Iranian city of Saqqez, Kordestan Province, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said Operation al-Aqsa Storm on October 7 was a "turning point" in the battles to liberate Palestinian lands, noting that it accelerated the downfall of the Israeli regime.
He also echoed earlier remarks by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that the irreparable defeat that the Tel Aviv regime sustained in the wake of the large-scale operation cannot be repaired through atrocities and vicious attacks.
“The brutal actions being committed nowadays in the Gaza Strip are devoid of any military value. Aerial bombardments of defenseless, vulnerable, and unarmed people taking refuge in houses, schools, public facilities, and hospitals are not worth even a single second in comparison with the infiltration into the [so-called] intelligence and operational barriers of the ominous [Israeli] regime. It (Israel) cannot reverse the defeat,” Mousavi pointed out.
The high-ranking Iranian military figure went on to say that Israeli war crimes once again exposed the true nature of the United States and its bogus claims to advocate for human rights and reintroduced Palestine as the primary issue of the Muslim world and the international community.
Mousavi emphasized that Operation al-Aqsa Storm, along with the support of freedom-loving people worldwide and the heroic steadfastness of Gazans, showed once again that the Israeli regime is weaker than a "spider's web," and will "collapse sooner than expected."
The war on Gaza started after the territory's Resistance movements waged a surprise attack against the occupying entity, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, in response to its decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Over 11,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Israeli aerial and ground attacks so far.
It has also imposed a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to more than two million Palestinians living there.
Iran has repeatedly warned about the repercussions of the intensification of Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
