News - Middle East: The commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Palestinian youth slapped “miserable” Israel in the face during its military aggression on the West Bank city of Jenin.

Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani made the remarks in a ceremony at the Islamic Azad University in Tehran on Wednesday, following Israel’s deadly aerial and ground offensive against Jenin and its refugee camp.

“The Palestinians were never as powerful and strong as they are today. On the contrary, the criminal Israelis were never in trouble, division, and misery like they are now. The Palestinians learned the way to live and fight with dignity from [Iran’s] Islamic Revolution,” he said.

“The Zionist regime deployed all its forces to the Jenin camp, but the Palestinian youth slapped it in the face. In some days, Palestinians carried out more than 30 operations in the West Bank against the Zionist regime.”

On Tuesday, the Israeli military withdrew its troops from Jenin, ending its two-day raid that killed at least 12 Palestinians and injured some 100 others. The aggression drew a wave of condemnations from across the world.

The Jenin incursion was launched amid already elevated tensions across the West Bank, with the Israeli military conducting near-nightly raids against the Palestinian towns and the Palestinian people conducting retaliatory operations.
