Speaking about Israel's fresh strikes on Gaza on Wednesday, member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Esmail Kowsari said, "The morale and the spirit of Israel's military commanders was down after receiving consequent blows from (Lebanon's) Hezbollah and the people of Gaza."
"Now the Zionist regime wants to boost its morale through such offensives and attacks, but it should know that the situation is not like before and the Palestinian people will respond to them (the Zionists)," Kowsari continued.
Earlier today, Tel Aviv assassinated several Palestinians, including the lieutenant commander of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Hamas Movement - and then launched a fresh wave of attacks on Gaza's residential areas, killing defenseless civilians, including women and children.
Iran instantaneously condemned the Zionist regime's fresh strikes on the Gaza Strip, describing the attacks as another example of the regime's "barbaric nature".
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast deplored the Zionist regime's assaults on the coastal enclave which have resulted in the killing and injuring of dozens of civilian Palestinians, and said the onslaughts are another "sign of the regime's brutal nature".
He further blasted the international community, specially human rights bodies, for keeping mum about the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians, saying their silence persuades the Zionists to "continue with their anti-human crimes".
The spokesman further mentioned that Israeli is seeking to hide its internal problems by diverting the world public opinion through such actions.
