IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said on Wednesday morning that Iran provided direct assistance to Hamas in its murderous and depraved assault of Israel on October 7th.
“Iran directly assisted Hamas before the war with training, the supply of weapons, funding, and technological know-how,” Hagari said.
“Even at this moment, Iranian assistance in intelligence, incitement on social media, and the goading of worldwide instigation against Israel continues.”
Hagari’s comments confirm a report by The Wall Street Journal a day after the attack.
On the same day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US hadn’t seen evidence of Iran’s involvement in the attack.
Hamas is not the only terror entity being aided by the Islamic Republic, which is also behind the increased attacks by the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon against Israel. Additionally, the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen fired five cruise missiles at Israel last week, four of which were intercepted by the USS Carney guided missile destroyer, operating in the northern Red Sea.
The Wall Street Journal revealed on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia intercepted the fifth missile in the attack, which also included the launching of 30 drones toward Israel.

Lets analyze this for a minute. If after this many thousands of strikes on terror targets there are still terror targets to strike that means that the amount of hamas people and structures are enormous especially for an area so small. In my estimation almost every one there would wither be affiliated with them or at least know these people and do nothing to try to stop it. So they are all complicit and they should stop making like most of them are innocent bystanders. The fact that they can keep shooting missile barrages after all this destruction corroborates this analysis about the extent of hamas operatives there or at least for those covering for them. I believe they must flatten the whole place.
