If the Zionist regime chooses a battle on the ground with Gaza, it will be swallowed and buried in the Gaza Strip, Major General Hossein Salami said in a conference in Iran’s western city of Khorramabad on Saturday.
The Israelis have been defeated in all ground operations so far, the IRGC commander said, adding, “They (Zionists) are incapable of fighting against Hamas. The land is the strong point of Hamas.”
Pointing to the “exceptional, unexpected and surprising” blow the Israeli regime suffered during the Al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7, the general said the insane reactions from Israel and its sponsors reveal that they are confused and baffled and have lost their mental balance.
“Today, Israel is the scene of unrests and terrible nightmares. The European officials go there (Israel) every day to give them (Zionists) artificial respiration and think how to make up for that heavy defeat,” Major General Salami stated.
Denouncing the US, the UK, Germany and other sponsors of Israel for joining hands to kill the Palestinian children, the IRGC chief reminded them that Gaza will stand strongly while the enemies will have to leave the region humiliatingly just like they did in previous wars.
At least 7,326 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, when Hamas carried out a surprise operation outside the Gaza Strip.
More than one million Palestinian children and their parents are living through “pure horror” in the besieged enclave, humanitarian group Save the Children said.
