TEHRAN – The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament has condemned the recent bombing of a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza by Israeli forces, expressing confidence that Palestinians will ultimately reclaim their homeland.

Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf took to his X account on Wednesday to denounce the bombing, which he described as a stark example of the "endless cruelty" exhibited by the Zionist regime and its American allies. The attack, which targeted a school, underscores the extreme measures being employed against the Palestinian population.

"The bombing of schools and homes is evidence of the endless cruelty of the Zionists and their American supporters," Qalibaf wrote. His statement reflects a broader sentiment of outrage within the Iranian government and among its supporters.

Qalibaf further emphasized that the current situation is unsustainable and that justice will eventually prevail. "These days will pass; Israel will face the consequences of its actions; Palestinians will reclaim their land, and disgrace will remain for the governments that supported these crimes," he added.

On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes targeted the UN's al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a bustling main street in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.

According to Gaza's Government Media Office, at least 25 people were killed at al-Razi, while 17 lost their lives in al-Mawasi. The attacks also left more than 70 individuals wounded.

Additionally, a third Israeli strike in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, claimed the lives of five more Palestinians, officials reported.

The bombing of al-Razi marks the sixth attack on UN-affiliated schools by Israeli forces in the past ten days. Among the victims was local journalist Mohammad Meshmesh, bringing the total number of journalists killed in the conflict to 160, according to Gaza's Government Media Office.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported that nearly 70 percent of its schools in Gaza have been hit since the conflict began last October. "Over 95% of these schools were used as shelters when hit. 539 people sheltering in UNRWA facilities have been killed," UNRWA stated on X. "Nowhere is safe. The blatant disregard for UN premises and humanitarian law must stop."

Despite designating al-Mawasi as a "safe-zone" and advising Palestinians to seek refuge there from ground assaults, Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted the coastal area.

Since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7, at least 38,713 people have been killed and 89,166 wounded. Over nine months into the conflict, Gaza is left in ruins, suffering under a severe blockade that limits access to food, clean water, and medicine.
