Speaking in a conference in Iran’s western city of Khorramabad on Saturday, Major General Hossein Salami said "Killing children and women is never a victory, but a crime." He added that, "Defeat cannot be made up for by killing children, they do not know, the battlefield is for faithful men, not weak men, because the most greedy people to live longer are the Zionists."
He warned the Zionist regime against going for a ground assault on the Gaza Strip saying that the Strip would devour its troops and would become a burial place for its soldiers.
"Gaza is Moses staff that will devour everything they grow. Gaza is the burial ground of the politics, strategy and power of all those who have joined hands to kill the children of Gaza and dominate them," the IRGC lead commander added.
General Salami further said that the Palestinian Resistance has put the Zionist Israeli regime into a crisis, and that it cannot come out of it.
“Today, Israel is the scene of unrest and terrible nightmares. The European officials go there (Israel) every day to give them (Zionists) artificial respiration and think how to make up for that heavy defeat,” he stated.
He considered the visits of high-ranking European and American officials to the occupied territories as "artificial respiration" to the dying regime and said, "They think they can compensate for that heavy and irreparable defeat by bombing the defenseless people."
"Gaza will remain resistant and the Zionists will suffer their final defeat from heroic Palestine," the commander added.
