zionist Israel Attacks Gaza, Declares State of Full Military Alert

The Zionist regime’s army is in full state of alert after launching a military strike on Gaza, media reports said.

The Israeli army told its personnel that they are in a state of military alert, the Zionist regime’s television reported.

Tel Aviv has started fresh attacks on Gaza’s residential areas killing defenseless civilians, including women and children, the Lebanese satellite television Al-Manar said.

Israel’s air strikes and artillery raids on Gaza are still continuing and a thick cloud of black smoke has covered its sky, it said.

The report came after the Zionist regime assassinated deputy chief commander of Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigade, the military wing of the Palestinian movement Hamas, Ahmad al-Jabari by striking his car on Wednesday.

Some news sources reported that Hamas has confirmed that Israel killed al-Jabari.

Iran on Wednesday condemned the Zionist regime’s fresh strikes on the Gaza Strip, describing the attacks as another example of the regime’s “barbaric nature”.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast deplored the Zionist regime’s assaults on the coastal enclave which have resulted in the killing and injuring of dozens of civilian Palestinians, and said the onslaughts are another “sign of the regime’s brutal nature”.

He further blasted the international community, specially human rights bodies, for keeping mum about the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians, saying their silence persuades the Zionists to “continue with their anti-human crimes”.

The spokesman further mentioned that Israeli is seeking to hide its internal problems by diverting the world public opinion through such actions.
