Iran Dismisses Allegations about Supplying Rockets to Resistance

Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi strongly rejected the Zionist regime’s allegations that Iran has supplied Hamas with ‘Fajr 5′ (Dawn 5) rockets, saying the resistance does not need Iranian rockets.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Leader has always stressed that “Iran withholds no assistance to the resistance”, but Iran’s support is of “spiritual kind”, Boroujerdi told Iran’s Arabic-language news channel, Al-Alam on Sunday.

The senior Iranian lawmaker reiterated that the resistance has obtained the required capability, power and self-sufficiency and does not need backup or rockets from other countries.

His remarks came after the Zionist regime and some western experts claimed that rockets launched by the Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, to target Israeli cities were Iranian-made.

Over 50 Palestinians have been killed and more than 510 others injured in the new wave of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since Wednesday.

Israel triggered the current fighting by assassinating the military chief of the ruling Hamas group on Wednesday followed by dozens of airstrikes on Gaza.

In response, Palestinian groups have fired over 900 missiles and rockets at Israel. Four Israelis have been killed and about 90 others wounded in the last four days since Israel initiated the attacks.

Palestinian resistance groups targeted a settlement near Jerusalem for the first time Friday, launching a rocket attack in a major escalation of hostilities as Israel pressed forward with relentless airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

Israel called up thousands of reservists and massed troops along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion of the densely populated seaside strip could be imminent. The attack on the Israeli settlement, along with an earlier strike on Zionists’ capital Tel Aviv, has frightened the Israeli regime.

Also a senior Palestinian leader warned on Saturday the Zionist regime against launching a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip, saying that the coastal enclave would became a graveyard for Israeli soldiers otherwise.

“If the Zionist regime decides to extend its aggressions to ground assaults, Gaza will turn into a graveyard for Israelis,” Lebanese satellite television Al-Manar quoted a member of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Mushir Al-Masri as saying.

“The resistance is fully prepared to confront Israel and our clashes are intensifying,” he said.

Different Palestinian resistance groups have vowed to retaliate against Israel’s intensifying attacks on Gaza with a devastating response.
