US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

There is no end in sight to the Israeli genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza as the regime keeps pounding the blockaded territory indiscriminately with air and artillery strikes. In a latest attack, at least three people were killed in the Israeli bombing of a Palestinian home near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. To the south, a woman and her daughter were killed after Israeli warplanes struck the Al-Manara neighborhood in the city of Khan Yunis. Meanwhile, Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinians in the town of Al-Shawka, near Rafah, killing a number of people. Israeli occupying forces also opened fire directly on ambulances as they were trying to retrieve those injured in the regime’s attacks in Rafah. The Israeli regime launched its war on Gaza in October last year. Since then, nearly 41-thousand Palestinians have been killed and almost 95,000 others injured.

Israeli aggression against Syria

The Israeli regime has carried out fresh strikes on Syria, targeting a number of military sites in the Arab country’s northwest with missiles and drones. Syrian media say at least five people were killed and nearly 20 others injured in the attacks that targeted the city of Hama. Syrian officials say several of those injured are in critical condition. The Syrian ministry of defense says the country’s air-defense system managed to intercept and shoot down a number of missiles and drones. Israel routinely carries out air strikes on Syria, often targeting the country’s military positions. Damascus has time and again called on the UN Security Council to put an end to the regime's attacks on Syrians. It argues that the strikes violate the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

IRGC pledge of retaliation

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says Israel will taste the bitterness of revenge for its vicious acts in the West Asia region. IRGC chief commander Major General Hossein Salami said that Zionists CANNOT escape the retaliation, and they will see when, where and how it will occur. General Salami added, the revenge will take place differently. The remarks are in apparent reference to Iran’s repeated pledge to retaliate against the Israeli assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July. The IRGC chief commander also pointed to mass protests against Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu over his failure to secure the release of captives held in Gaza. Salami said Israel is unable to continue its current political existence, adding that the regime’s officials are confused these days. He noted that the war has been spread to the occupied territories.
