“Under the current situation in the region and the world, Israel wants to boost the morale of its...military forces by attacking Palestine with the illusion of victory,” member of Iran Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Mohammad Esmail Kowsari said on Monday.
He noted that the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are planning to damage the [anti-Israel] resistance chain in Palestine to make up for their failure in Syria.
Kowsari stated that these countries have failed to achieve their goals in both Syria and Palestine and enemies of resistance, especially Israel, will surely suffer a heavier defeat than what they suffered in 22-day war on Gaza (in the winter of 2008-2009).
During the 22-day war, more than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 300 children, lost their lives.
Over 100 Palestinians have been killed and more than 700 wounded in the attacks. Many of the wounded are in critical conditions.
At least 50 Palestinian demonstrators, who protested against the Israeli war on Gaza, were also injured in the cities of al-Khalil, Ramallah, Qalandia, Beit Lahia, and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Sunday.
Palestinian resistance fighters continue firing retaliatory rockets and missiles into Israel.
