Iran has condemned the latest Israeli crime of targeting journalists inside the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound in the city of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.
At least four Palestinians were killed and 16 injured, including several journalists, on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a tent for displaced people on the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound, medical sources reported.
In a statement, Gaza’s government media office said Israel “committed a new massacre inside a hospital that provides medical service for displaced people and citizens” and held the US administration, Israel, and the international community “fully responsible for this crime.”
In a post on his X account on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said an immediate end to Israel’s crimes and the legal and judicial prosecution of Israeli criminals are the “definite” responsibility of world assemblies and the demand of public opinion across the globe.
He added that the world is witnessing the continuation of Israel’s “terrible war crimes” in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that the latest crime by the child-killing Israeli regime in Deir el-Balah violated all international rules and regulations.
Israel’s savage crimes against the residents of the besieged Gaza Strip are an “eternal and indelible stain” on the regime’s hypocritical supporters, the Iranian spokesperson pointed out.
Israel waged its brutal US-backed war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, more than six months into the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives of “destroying Hamas” and finding Israeli captives despite killing at least 32,782 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 75,298 others.
