General Soleimani: Israel to Get Furious Response at “Proper Time”
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The “criminal Zionists” should be mindful that they will receive an eventual response at a proper time in a burst of anger, a high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warned.
In an unprecedented reaction to Israel’s ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip, Commander of the IRGC Quds Force Major General Qassem Soleimani pledged on Wednesday that the Tel Aviv regime’s crimes will not remain unanswered.
In his letter to the Palestinian resistance groups, the commander reaffirmed commitment to assisting the anti-Israeli fighters, stressing that the support for resistance will continue until “the land and the sky turn into hell for the Zionists,” Al Mayadeen TV channel reported.
Major General Soleimani also derided any proposal for disarmament of the resistance groups as “failed initiative and illusion”, and underlined that such nonstarter will never materialize.
His comments came amid Israel’s fierce military assaults on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has been battered since July 8.
Palestinian death toll from 24 days of Israeli onslaught on the coastal enclave has surpassed 1,300, while around 7,600 others have been wounded.
Israeli sources have confirmed the deaths of 56 soldiers. However, Hamas says the toll is much higher.
While efforts are underway to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, Tel Aviv says its condition for a truce is demilitarization of Hamas.
The Palestinian resistance group, however, rules that out, stressing that any truce should guarantee an end to the blockade of Gaza as well as the Israeli military attacks on the impoverished enclave.
