Iran on Thursday condemned what it called Israel's continued "crimes" and attacks against Palestinians.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei listed as crimes committed by Israel over the past few days the targeted assassination of reporters, intentional attacks on rescue and relief workers and medical centers.

He slammed the inaction of certain Western countries in the face of the "flagrant and systematic violations of human rights and international humanitarian law" in the occupied Palestinian territory, calling it a clear sign of those countries' lack of honesty regarding the upholding of human rights and the rule of law.

He also urged all countries to prevent the "continued killing of defenseless Palestinian women and children through verbal and practical solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people."
