Tehran, March 31 - Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in a statement strongly condemned the Zionists' crimes in killing Palestinians protestors.
During the peaceful protests held by Palestinians in Gaza Strip early Friday, Israeli military forces killed 15 Palestinians most of whom under 16 and injured about 1,500 others. This is while none of the protesters was armed.
'The new crimes committed by the racist Zionist regime by killing over 1,400 Palestinians in a peaceful protest march in Gaza Strip, under backing of the US and its European and regional allies once again indicated that the Zionists are afraid of the outbreak of a new Intifada and of the capacities of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance,' the statement read.
'The recent brutal crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip reflects the fact that the dirty deal of the treacherous leaders of some reactionary and affiliated Arab states in establishing relations with the occupiers of the Holy Palestine is doomed to fail at its very early stages,' IRGC said.
In its stament, the IRGC rejected the dream of stabilizing Israel and safeguarding this usurper regime.
'Undoubtedly, with the collapse of ISIS the Islamic Ummah now views the final defeat of Takfiri terrorists in the region as a prelude to focusing more on the issue of Palestine, and the Palestinians in their recent move have signaled the message to the world that they are pioneers. The IRGC will spare no efforts to help the Palestinian people,' the statement said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi earlier denounced killing and wounding of scores of Palestinians by the racist Zionist regime’s military forces.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also in a Twitter message said , “On the eve of Passover (of all days), which commemorates God liberating Prophet Moses and his people from tyranny, Zionist tyrants murder peaceful Palestinian protesters—whose land they have stolen—as they march to escape their cruel and inhuman apartheid bondage.'
