In a telephone conversation with Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of the political bureau of Islamic resistance movement Hamas, the IRGC Quds Force commander assured the Palestinian nation and resistance of the Islamic Republic�s continued support in the battle against the Zionist enemy and its relentless acts of aggression against Jerusalem al-Quds and the Gaza Strip.

The Iranian commander also strongly condemned the Zionist occupiers� brutal crimes against Palestinian people in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of al-Quds and in Gaza, and lauded the resistance forces� perfect and successful performance in the face of the Israeli enemy.
