Unable to change Palestinians calculations, Israel resorts to terror crimes: Iran top general
Iran’s highest-ranking military commander says Israel’s terrorist crimes are rooted in the regime’s inability to change calculations of the Palestinian people and the resistance forces.
In a Wednesday message to the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri offered his condolences to Ismail Haniyeh over the killing of three of his sons and four grandchildren in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
On the day of Eid al-Fitr, the criminal Israeli regime killed the Hamas leader’s sons and grandchildren in a move which is rooted in its weakness and desperation, he said.
“These terrorist acts are not an outcome of the Zionist regime’s power, but are rather a sign of its confusion, desperation and inability to change the calculations of the resilient Palestinian people and the Palestinian fighters,” Baqeri added.
He emphasized that this crime and the killing of thousands of innocent Palestinian people in Gaza “will not go unanswered.”
Israel will be punished for its shameful acts by strong brave forces of the resistance movement, the top Iranian commander said.

On Wednesday, three sons and four grandchildren of the senior Hamas official were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a vehicle at the al-Shati refugee camp in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, which is enduring a genocidal Israeli war.
Israel launched hostilities in Gaza on October 7, 2023 when it was caught off-guard by Operation al-Aqsa Storm. Since then, the regime has killed at least 33,482 people, mostly women and children, and wounded 76,049 others in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.
Shati terrorist airstrike translates into Israeli defeat: IRGC commander
In a separate message to Haniyeh, Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said Israel’s terrorist airstrike against civilians in Shati translates into the regime’s defeat in the face of the patience and historic resilience of the people of Palestine.
He added that such crimes will have no impact on the strong will of the Palestinians but will strengthen the determination of Hamas and people to continue the path of victory and ultimate liberation of al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque.
The IRGC commander emphasized that Hamas, backed by the powerful resistance front in the region, will resolutely continue its fateful battle against the Zionist enemy.
Supporters of the occupying Israeli regime will not be able to help it survive and continue its brutal crimes, Salami pointed out.
