Iran's Khamenei says Israel committing 'shameless crimes' against children

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that Israel was committing "shameless crimes" against children, not combatants. 

Khamenei called for "inner strength" among Muslims to remove a "malignant cancerous tumour" from Palestine. 

His comments came a day after an Israeli air strike on a densely populated area in the Lebanese capital Beirut had killed 31 people, including three children and seven women, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
