Hailing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution says the Al-Aqsa Flood operation was a decisive blow to Israel and the regime will not be able to recover from it. The leader added that the US, Israel and some regional countries were hatching a major plot to change regional equations and the October 7 operation offset that plot. Ayatollah Khamenei also said the operation al-Aqsa Flood exactly followed repeated calls by the late founding father of Islamic Republic on Palestinians to take action to secure their rights. The leader was addressing a ceremony to mark the 35th anniversary of the passing of the late imam. In the comments, Ayatollah Khamenei also hailed the late Iranian president’s work and described Ebrahim Raeisi as a martyr for service.

In the south of the city, Israeli airstrikes left at least four Palestinians dead and several others injured. Elsewhere in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, four Palestinians were also killed and several others injured in the Israeli bombing. Meanwhile, the regime’s military is targeting areas east of Gaza city with artillery fire. Over two dozen Palestinians have been killed by air raids and artillery shells since Monday morning. According to Gaza health officials, the death toll from the onslaught now stands at over 36,430 since early October. Over 82,000 people have also been injured since then.
Iraqi resistance retaliates
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has conducted new retaliatory strikes on Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
