Disarmament of Palestinian resistance fighters is nothing but an illusion, says a commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

Major General Qassem Soleimani released a message on Wednesday, admiring all Palestinian fighters’ fortitude in the face of the Israeli offensive against the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Unity for Palestine fills the enemies with fear and makes the whole world unsafe for its usurpers,” he said.

The Islamic Republic will continue its support for Palestinian resistance, noted the IRGC commander.
Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip since July 8, demolishing houses and burying families under the rubble. Israeli forces also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, has been launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.

Earlier on Wednesday, Palestinian resistance fighters launched four rockets against Tel Aviv in response to the Israeli regime’s massive onslaught on the blockaded strip.

While Tel Aviv confirms 56 Israelis have been killed in the war, Hamas sources put the number much higher.

So far, more than 1,360 people have been killed and thousands others injured by the Israeli regime’s offensive against the coastal sliver despite pressure from the international community.
