Tehran Hosts Int'l Conference on Gaza
The Iranian capital city of Tehran is hosting an international conference on Gaza with a large number of pro-Palestinian figures and activists in attendance.

The 4th international conference of ‘Gaza, Symbol of Resistance’ started work in Tehran on Thursday.

Iranian officials, Palestinian resistance figures and pro-Palestine activists from different countries are taking part in the two-day event.

The conference aims to commemorate the resistance shown by Palestinians especially the people of Gaza during Israeli aggressions against the Gaza Strip.

Israel triggered an 8-day fighting by assassinating the military chief of the ruling Hamas group on November 14 followed by dozens of airstrikes on Gaza.

In response, Palestinian groups fired over 1,500 missiles and rockets at Israel.

Palestinian resistance groups targeted Tel Aviv and areas near Jerusalem for the first time in the history of confrontations between the two sides, 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.

But the rocket attacks on areas deep in the occupied territories (Israel) frightened the Israeli regime, and made it drop its aggression plans and ask for third party mediation.

Eventually, a Cairo-mediated ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Wednesday November 21, ended the Israeli attacks, which killed more than 165 Palestinians and injured about 1,269 others.
