Iran’s foreign ministry has sharply criticised Israel’s latest wave of air and ground attacks that have killed hundreds of Palestinians in just three days, according to the semi-official Mehr News Agency.
Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei “strongly condemned” the ongoing assault and demanded “an end to impunity” for Israeli leaders behind the military campaign.
“These individuals are directly involved in the operations that have killed at least 53,200 people since 7 October 2023,” Baghaei said.
His remarks come as Israel expands its offensive, intensifying air strikes and launching a fresh ground assault across parts of the Gaza Strip.
