Tehran : Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said the resistance of the Palestinian people will turn the Gaza Strip into a Zionist cemetery. Addressing lawmakers prior to the open session of parliament on Sunday, Larijani took aim at the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza. He said the destruction of medical centers in Gaza is the visible expression of crime against humanity. “Fortunately, the Zionists are confronted by the Palestinians’ defense and sustained serious losses. The Zionists should bear in mind that Gaza will become their cemetery,” Larijani added.
Israeli forces staged a ground offensive on the ninth day of their attempt to purge Gaza of the legally-elected Hamas. They engaged Palestinian fighters in four spots in the north, around Gaza City, Beit Hanun, Beit Lahiya and Jabaliya. The fresh Israeli air and ground assaults on the Gaza Strip has increased the death count to 497 and the injured to 2750. The latest UN Security Council meeting on the Gaza crisis ended inconclusively late Saturday due to US intervention in spite of world condemnation of the attacks in the Gaza Strip.
