A statement issued by the office of His Eminence (long may he live) regarding the new massacre perpetrated by the occupation army in the Gaza Strip

In The Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Once again, the Israeli occupation army perpetrated a major massacre in the dignified Gaza Strip by targeting the displaced and homeless people sheltering at Al-Tabaeen School, which caused large numbers of innocent civilians to be killed and wounded - in a gruesome crime adding to its series of ongoing crimes for more than ten months. Recently, this included the treacherous assassinations targeting prominent leaders in the resistance to the occupation - leading to a number of them being martyred and the sovereignty of a number of regional countries being violated - thus increasing the risks of major clashes occurring. If so, God forbid, would inflict catastrophic consequences on various countries in the region and its peoples.
Words fall short of condemning these heinous crimes perpetrated by savage humans devoid of all humane values ​​and lofty principles. It is regrettable that they [the perpetrators] enjoy unlimited support from a number of major countries that prevent international laws of crimes against humanity being applied to them
Once again, we call on the world to stand up to this appalling brutality and prevent the occupying forces from continuing to implement their plans to inflict more harm on the oppressed Palestinian people. We also call on the Islamic peoples - in particular - to come together and unite to pressure towards ending the genocide war in dear Gaza and to provide more aid to its dear residents.
There is no power or strength except in God, the Exalted, the Great.
