Iran Majlis Speaker Lauds Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad Influential Roles
Iran Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has lauded Lebanon’s Hezbollah as well as the Palestinian resistance movements of Hamas and Islamic Jihad as influential powers in the region.
Speaking at the 4th international conference of ‘Gaza, Symbol of Resistance’ in the Iranian capital on Thursday, Larijani said that Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad were among the most influential powers in the region due to their morale of resistance.
He said that Israel was crushed by Hezbollah during the 33-day war and added the Lebanese movement imposed a backbreaking defeat on Tel Aviv. Larijani said that Israel then launched the 22-day war to break Gaza but was defeated by Hamas and Islamic Jihad and added the Tel Aviv regime suffered its latest defeat in the recent eight-year war on Gaza.
The fourth international conference of ‘Gaza, Symbol of Resistance’ aims to commemorate the resistance shown by Palestinians especially the people of Gaza during Israeli aggressions. Iranian officials, Palestinian resistance figures and pro-Palestine activists from different countries are taking part in the two-day event.
On November 14, the Israeli regime launched a deadly offensive on the blockaded Gaza Strip, which killed more than 160 Palestinians and injured some 1,200 others. In retaliation, Palestinian resistance fighters fired rockets and missiles into the Israeli cities, killing at least five Israelis.
The November 2012 Israeli war on Gaza was Tel Aviv’s second deadly attack on the Palestinian strip in four years. Israeli regime waged a 22-day war on the densely-populated enclave in 2008, which killed over 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 300 children.
Israel had also unleashed an all-out offensive on Lebanon in summer 2006 but received a humiliating defeat from Hezbollah. The invasion claimed the lives of nearly 1,200 Lebanese people, most of them civilians.
