Raids on the Northern and Central Gaza Strip

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against Gaza, as its warplanes launched two raids on the northern Gaza Strip today, Friday.

The Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported that the occupation aircraft launched two raids on the Al-Sikka area, and on a house for the Al-Mabhouh family, east of Tal Al-Zaatar, in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, wounding a citizen who was subsequently transferred to Kamal Adwan Hospital.

4 Massacres

An occupation aircraft also launched a raid on the city of Al-Zahra in the central Gaza Strip, in addition to another raid that targeted an area north of the electricity company in Nuseirat.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza indicated in its daily statistical report that the “Israeli” occupation committed 4 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, including 42 martyrs and 63 injuries to hospitals during the past 24 hours.

Thus, the toll of the “Israeli” aggression has risen to 34,012 martyrs and 76,833 injuries since the seventh of last October.

International Condemnation of US “Veto” against Palestine

Today, Friday, Arab and Islamic countries and organizations expressed their dissatisfaction with the American “veto” against Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations, following the failure of the Security Council to accept it, amid an Algerian announcement of its intention to return to submit a request on behalf of the Arab group in the Council to obtain it again.

This came according to official statements issued by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria and Palestine, after the United States dropped a draft Arab resolution submitted by Algeria to the Security Council demanding that Palestine be granted full membership in the United Nations, according to the Anadolu Agency.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed, in a statement today, Friday, that obstructing the acceptance of full membership of the State of Palestine in the United Nations contributes to perpetuating the obstinacy of the “Israeli” occupation and its continued violations of the rules of international law without deterrence, and will not bring the desired peace closer.

In a statement on Friday, the Arab Parliament also criticized the United States’ use of its veto, considering it “a usurpation of the legitimate Palestinian rights to recognize the Palestinian state and acknowledge its full membership in the United Nations.”

While the Organization of Islamic Cooperation expressed its deep regret at the failure of the UN Security Council to carry out its responsibilities towards granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations, at a time when the Palestinian people are exposed to the harshest levels of aggression, persecution, and genocide.

Meanwhile, Algeria's permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ammar Ben Jama, confirmed his intention to return again to submit an Arab application for Palestine to obtain full UN membership.

Bin Jama said in a speech after the US veto, “We will return stronger and more vocal with the support of the legitimacy of the General Assembly and the broader support of the members of the United Nations. This is just another step in the journey towards full membership for Palestine.”

Hamas condemned in the strongest terms the American position biased towards the occupation, and called on the international community to exert pressure to go beyond the American will and support the struggle of the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to self-determination.

The movement said in a press statement, today, Friday: The U S once again stands in the face of international will, to use its veto power in the face of the draft resolution submitted by Algeria on behalf of the Arab group, calling for granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations, despite 12 countries supported the resolution.

Hamas added that the United States reaffirms its stand against our Palestinian people and their right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent Palestinian state, and its full support for the fascist occupation entity in its confiscation of the rights of our Palestinian people and attempts to liquidate their cause.

The movement pointed out that the American administration, with its position, places itself with the Nazi-Zionist entity, isolated from the international will that stands with our people and their legitimate rights.

Hamas highly valued the positions of all countries that stood with the Palestinian right and voted for the draft resolution.

Explosions in Iran

At dawn today, Friday, the “Israeli” occupation launched an air strike on Iran in response to its attack with missiles and marches on “Israeli” sites.

The official “Israeli” Broadcasting Corporation reported that “Israel” attacked targets in Iran, according to what was reported by the “Palestinian Information Center.”

Iranian media reported that the sounds of explosions were heard in the airspace of Isfahan Governorate in the center of Iran, indicating that the air defenses responded to some small drones.

Al Jazeera quoted Iranian official television as saying that the nuclear sites in the Isfahan province did not suffer any damage, after the air defense systems in Isfahan were activated to deal with suspected drones.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, Abdul Rahim Mousavi, said that the explosions that occurred in the sky of the city of Isfahan in the center of the country were linked to the launching of anti-aircraft systems at what he described as a suspicious object, and did not cause any damage.

The occupation army refused to comment on the issue, while Iran did not directly accuse “Israel” of carrying out the attack with the marches, stressing that the event was a security event and did not result from an external attack, without providing information about the location of the start of the marches, according to the “Al Jazeera” website. net".
