During the peaceful protests held by Palestinians in Gaza Strip on Friday, Israeli military forces killed 15 Palestinians, most of them under 16 years of age, and injured about 1,500 others. None of the Palestinian protesters were armed, and the demonstrations were peaceful..
The IRGC statement added: "New crimes committed by the racist Zionist regime, killing or injuring over 1,400 Palestinians in a peaceful protest march in Gaza Strip, with the backing of the US and its European and regional allies, once again highlights the fact that the Zionists are afraid of a new Intifadha emerging, and they are fearful of the capabilities of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance".
The statement went on to say: "Revealing the recent brutal crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip reflects the fact that the dirty deal of the treacherous leaders of some reactionary Arab states in establishing relations with the occupiers of Holy Palestine is doomed to fail at its very early stages".
In its statement IRGC rejected the dream of stabilizing Israel and safeguarding this usurper regime.
"Undoubtedly, with the collapse of ISIS (Daesh) , the Islamic Ummah now views the final defeat of Takfiri terrorists in the region as a prelude to focusing more on the issue of Palestine, and the Palestinians in their recent move have signaled the message to the world that they are pioneers. The IRGC will make every effort to help the Palestinian people".
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi earlier denounced killing and wounding of scores of Palestinians by racist Zionist regime’s military forces.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also in a Twitter message said “On the eve of Passover (of all days), which commemorates God liberating Prophet Moses and his people from tyranny, Zionist tyrants murder peaceful Palestinian protesters—whose land they have stolen—as they march to escape their cruel and inhuman apartheid bondage.'
