The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s Quds Force says the Palestinian people will eventually rid their land from Israelis, warning the regime that the era of hit-and-run has come to an end.

Brigadier Gen. Esmail Qa’ani made the warning at a ceremony on Tuesday which was held on the occasion of the first martyrdom anniversary of former Iranian ambassador to Yemen Hassan Irloo, who passed away of COVID-19 complications amid a siege imposed by the Saudi regime and its allies on the Arabian Peninsula state.

Qa’ani noted that about 50 operations are carried out against Israel in the occupied West Bank alone every day, adding that the occupying regime is today desperate and under intense pressure.

He went on to say that it won't be long before the Palestinians expel the Israelis from their land.

The IRGC commander further said the day his predecessor Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani was assassinated by a US drone strike in Iraq, we warned Israelis to sell their houses and leave Palestine.

“Today, we see that in the occupied territories, old Jewish figures have created organizations to [promote] leaving the occupied territories,” he said.

The latest development came a day after a prominent Israeli regime general said that occupied Palestine is witnessing the formation of a communication network among Palestinians, a matter that worries Israeli officials and elites who think the regime faces an existential threat.

Palestinian officials have also reiterated that the Palestinian resistance front will not quit fighting Israel until the occupied territories are fully liberated.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has also urged support for the Palestinian people’s right to end the Israeli occupation and establish their independent state with al-Quds as its capital, as well as the right of return for refugees.

The Israeli regime came into existence in 1948 after occupying huge swathes of Palestinian territories during a Western-backed war. It occupied more land, namely the West Bank, which includes East al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip where Hamas is headquartered, in another war in 1967.

Ever since, it has built hundreds of settlements upon the occupied territories and deployed the most aggressive restraints on Palestinian freedoms there. Tel Aviv withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but has been keeping the coastal territory under an all-out land, aerial, and naval siege since a year after it left the enclave.
