Iran on Tuesday strongly condemned the new wave of Israeli violence against defenseless Palestinians which killed and wounded tens of civilians in Gaza strip.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the new wave of Israeli violence is the outcome of understanding between US President George W. Bush and Israeli Ehud Olmert to follow scorched earth policy in Palestine.
"Israeli attack on residential area in Gaza strip indicated a new wave of Israeli violence against Palestinians being backed by the United States," Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.
He expressed outrage at the international organizations for keeping silent on the systematic killing of Palestinian children, youth, and women.
Because of the high number of casualties, witnesses said that Israeli troops are using tank-fired flechette shells, an
anti-personnel weapon that throws out thousands of metal darts.
Shifa Hospital put out a radio call for blood donations because of the large number of wounded.
Doctors said that the wounded have lost limbs questioning the type of shells Israel used in its latest attack against Palestinians.
IRNA reporter in Gaza said that 17 Palestinians were killed and 45 others were killed in Israeli Tuesday invasion.
Hosseini called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Arab League to take measures to stop Israeli new waves of violence.
