Iran’s top human rights official has also supported the resistance front's measures against Israel, saying the Operation Al-Aqsa Storm was the result of over seven decades of the Tel Aviv regime's occupation, aggression and the martyrdom of more than a hundred thousand innocent Palestinians, including women and children.
"The Palestinian resistance's measures are legitimate defense in the face of the crimes and apartheid of the child-killing Zionist regime," Kazem Gharibabadi, secretary of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, said in a post on his X account on Monday.
He condemned Israel's attacks on Palestine's infrastructure, hospitals and civilians and urged an immediate stop to them.
Israel on Monday stepped up its ferocious pounding of the besieged Gaza Strip as its troops struggled to clear out Hamas fighters more than two days after they burst across the fence from Gaza and overran Israeli bases.
