“As admitted by friends and enemies, Israel is in the worst condition today and the Palestinian and Lebanese fighters are at the peak of their preparedness to confront any invasion by Zionists and end the shameful life of this fake and criminal regime,” Head of the IRGC Public Relations Department General Ramezan Sharif said in a speech on Tuesday night.
“This is not a slogan; it is a full-blown reality that has been acknowledged by even the front of the Zionists’ supporters,” he added.
“The Zionist regime used to say that if all the armies of the Arab countries gathered together, they would not be able to defeat Israel in a military battle, but the inspiration of the blood of the martyrs and the discourse of resistance and fight against oppression and adherence to it changed the situation so that not even the Arab countries but the oppressed people of Gaza forced the child-killer Zionist regime to beg (for an end to conflict) in less than 48 hours,” the IRGC spokesman said.
Back in November, Palestinian groups in the besieged Gaza Strip agreed to an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Israel to halt two days of intense fighting with Israel sparked by a botched Israeli special forces raid miles inside Gaza.
Hamas-led groups accepted the truce to restart the situation that prevailed up until this latest military escalation.
The announcement set off celebrations in Gaza City with hundreds of Palestinians taking to the streets to declare victory.
