On the first anniversary of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Iran’s embassy in Beirut says the nations of the West Asia region have the final say in the ongoing battle that has expanded to Lebanon.
“The last word in this battle, which is being conducted under direct US auspices, will be for the region’s peoples and free people,” the embassy said in a post on social media platform X on Monday.
The embassy noted that the Israeli massacres, which have been committed in Gaza and Lebanon since al-Aqsa Storm operation was launched last year, aimed to “hide its blessed outcomes that shook the pillars of the fragile entity, which is weaker that a spider web, but all to no avail.”
مرت سنة كاملة على عملية #طوفان_الأقصى، والنظام الصهيوني يمعن في التدمير وارتكاب المجازر الدموية في قطاع #غزة و #لبنان بغية إخفاء نتائجها المباركة التي زلزلت أركان الكيان الهش، الأوهن من بيت العنكبوت، ولكن دون جدوى. إن الكلمة الفصل في هذه المعركة، التي تُدار برعاية أميركية مباشرة،… pic.twitter.com/hUSttnkiAz

Israel launched the war on Gaza after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity on October 7, 2023 in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 41,909 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 97,303 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
Israel has also been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations.
Since late last month, the regime has escalated its strikes on Lebanon.
More than 2,000 people have been killed in Israel's attacks against Lebanon in the past year, according to the Arab country's Health Ministry.
