Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani said on Saturday that the Operation al-Aqsa Storm “shows the Palestinian resistance is confidently capable of conducting hybrid and multilateral operations against the occupiers.”
The Iranian official also extended congratulations to the Palestinian people and all resistance groups over the operation, Press TV reported.
“What happened today is in line with the continuation of the victories of the resistance in the face of the Zionists in various fields, including in Syria, Lebanon and the occupied territories,” Kan'ani said.
He added that the operation once again proved that Israelis are vulnerable in the face of a serious move and lack the spirit to resist.
The Iranian diplomat expressed hope that resistance would succeed in achieving more victories on the path towards the liberation of Palestine.
Reports say at least 100 Israelis have been killed and over 900 injured so far as a result of the surprise Palestinian offensive that was launched on Saturday. The operaton combined fighters crossing the fence into Israeli occupied cities with a heavy barrage of rockets from the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian offensive is without precedent in scale. It started as Israelis celebrated the last day of the weeklong Sukkot festival.
