Iran deputy FM hails Gaza victory over Zionist regime

An Iranian deputy foreign minister has congratulated the people of Gaza and the resistance leaders on the victory against Israeli regime, saying the Palestinian resistance gave a devastating response to the Zionist regime of Israel.

According to Press TV, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Thursday: “The Palestinian resistance gave a crushing response to Israeli regime”, adding that the resistance front deprived the Israeli regime of any chance to take any imprudent measure.
He added: “Disappointed in breaking down the resistance front and having failed in Syria, the Zionist regime sought to conceal its defeat by launching cowardly attacks against Gaza. But by doing so, it adopted a totally wrong strategy and it had to back down shamefaced.”
On November 14, the Israeli regime launched a deadly offensive on the blockaded Gaza Strip, which martyred more than 160 Palestinians and injured some 1,200 others.
In retaliation, Palestinian resistance fighters fired rockets and missiles into the occupied territories, killing at least five Zionists.
On Wednesday, Egypt announced that the Israeli regime and the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement.
The strip has been under an Israeli blockade since June 2007, which has resulted in mass unemployment, extreme poverty and food price rises.
