No Zionists’ act of mischief will go unanswered: Parliament speaker’s aide

A senior aide to the speaker of Iran’s Parliament says developments that took place in the occupied territories in recent days have clearly proven that no act of mischief by the Zionists will go unanswered.

“What happened in recent days proved that the Zionists’ mischief will not go unanswered and the resistance [front] will act with power in the face of their acts of aggression,” Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Thursday in a meeting with the representative of the Islamic Jihad movement, Nasser Abu Sharif.

He added that the consequence of the Zionist regime’s brazen acts is a stronger blow it has received and the brunt it has borne.

On April 22, a Syrian surface-to-air missile landed near Israel’s top-secret Dimona nuclear reactor site in the southern part of the Israeli-occupied territories, triggering warning sirens in the Negev desert.

The Israel army failed in its attempt to intercept the missile using its air defense systems, according to the Jerusalem Post daily newspaper.

The Israeli military said that in response to the launch, it attacked several missile batteries on neighboring Syria.

Syria’s official news agency SANA said its air defenses intercepted the Israeli attack in the Damascus suburbs.

“Air defenses intercepted the rockets and downed most of them,” the agency said.

Chief Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami warned that the evil acts of the Israeli regime will backfire on it and draw the regime closer to collapse.

In an interview with Lebanon's Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network published on Monday, Salami added that the acts of mischief by the Tel Aviv regime in the region would expose it to real threats in the future, particularly that the time is ripe for the regime’s collapse.

The Islamic Republic will respond to any act of mischief by Israel at the same level or stronger, the top Iranian commander said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Amir-Abdollahian, who is also the secretary general of the International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada, added that a full support for the resistance front, which could materialize through unity among all Muslim countries, would be the “right and definitive” way to counter the Israeli regime in the region.

He noted that the realization of the Palestinian cause is possible through solidarity between Muslim countries and the resistance front in the face of the Israeli regime.

The Hamas official, for his part, hailed Iran’s special support for the Palestinian people and said the shaky  nature of the power of the Israeli regime was revealed inside the occupied territories last week.

Sharif emphasized that unity among Muslim countries is the only way to achieve victory against the inhumane Zionist regime.

He lauded Iran as a staunch supporter of the resistance front and said full unity among the Palestinian groups in the face of the Zionist regime is a precondition for Palestine’s salvation.

The Islamic Jihad movement would never change its position in the fight against the Zionist regime, he added.
