TEHRAN: A top commander of Irans Revolutionary Guards vowed revenge against Israel for its ongoing military incursion into Gaza, which has already killed hundreds of Palestinians.
You [people of Israel] are trees without any roots which were planted in the Islamic lands by the British, deputy chief Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami said at a gathering in Tehran, Fars News Agency reported. That statement referred to the Balfour Declaration, which led to the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the eventual creation of the state Israel in 1948.
We will chase you house to house and will take revenge for every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine, Salami said. He said this is the beginning point of Islamic nations awakening for your defeat.
The deputy commander promised that Palestine will no longer remain calm and cited a statement by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic: Imam [Khomeini] with the statement that Israel must be wiped from the face of the Earth gave a true message to the world. This message enlightened the Muslims and became the concept on the streets of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
Salami, recalling previous wars Israel fought against Hezbollah in Lebanon, said: The end of the Zionist regime [Israel] has arrived. Islamic movements are armed, missiles are positioned, and today we witness how the arms of the resistance in a corner of the Islamic world are controlling the events in the face of the tragic and barbaric attack by the Zionist regime against the oppressed and defenseless Palestinians in Gaza.
