Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani on Friday condemned Israel's strikes on Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
in reaction to the recent attacks of the Zionist regime on Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, Kanaani said the attacks are the continuation of the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the brutal attack on Palestinian worshipers.
He added that these strikes are regarded as a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, as well as a gross violation of the principles of international law and human rights towards the oppressed Palestinian nation, and called for an effective and deterrent response from the international community and relevant international organizations.
News sources reported on Wednesday night that the Zionist troops raided al-Aqsa Mosque once more and beat Palestinian worshippers, and even tried to expel the Palestinians from the holy mosque. Palestinian Red Crescent Society declared that a number of Palestinians have been injured following the raid, but the Zionist troops did not allow medical staff to enter the holy site.
The Zionist regime’s police announced that they arrested tens of Palestinian people at al-Aqsa Mosque. Some Palestinian sources reported that more than 200 worshippers have been wounded and 400 others have been arrested.
Earlier, in a phone talk with the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian asked for an OIC emergency meeting to discuss the recent brutalities of the Zionist regime in Al Aqsa Mosque.
