\r\n\tIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has denounced Israel’s brutal massacre of people in the Gaza Strip, especially children.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe top diplomat made the remarks in a message to a local gathering Thursday staged to show Iranian children’s solidarity with the kids in Gaza, which has been the scene of brutal Israeli raids over the past month.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tZarif said that no children in the world can even for a moment witness the tears of defenseless kids in Gaza who are being killed or displaced simply because they are Palestinians. <\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“The tradition of killing children is only practiced by brutal tyrants who have no respect for any humanitarian principles and respond to children’s cries of anger with guns, cannon barrels and tanks,” part of the message said.
\r\n\tZarif also said that the Israeli land and aerial aggression against Gazan children, which he said, does not even spare hospitals, schools and kindergartens.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tIsrael unleashed its recent massive offensive on the Gaza Strip on July 8. Nearly 1,900 people, including more than 400 children, have been killed and over 9,500 others injured by the Israeli regime’s four-week onslaught on the coastal enclave.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has said the destructive effects of the Israeli incursion into the besieged Gaza Strip are “almost indescribable.”<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\t“We see children killed, injured, mutilated and burnt, in addition to being terrified to their core. The consequences run much deeper than previous flare-ups,” said Pernille Ironside, the chief of the UNICEF field office in the blockaded area.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2014-08-08 14:37:42","content_date_finish":"2014-08-08 14:37:42","content_date_register":"2014-08-08 14:37:42","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"122946","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3481230942","attach_date_register":"2014-08-08 14:38:00","attach_id":"121490","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"390","attach_img_height":"250","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"215","visit_date_last":"2025-05-10 15:16:18","attach_title":"The tradition of killing children is only practiced by Israel","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
