Iran Greenlit Palestinian Terror Attacks On Israel; Israel Vows To ‘Strike’ Iran’s Leadership: Report

Original article here.

The Islamic Republic of Iran reportedly gave the green light to Palestinian terrorists last week to launch their broadscale attacks against Israel.

A Hamas official had already confirmed that the organization had received support from Iran for the attack, but a new Wall Street Journal report gave more details and confirmed the report with multiple officials.

The publication said that officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had been working with Hamas and other Islamic terrorists in planning the attacks, which included firing thousands of rockets and invading Israel by land, sea, and air.

The timeline means that the attacks were planned around the time that the Biden administration reached a deal in mid-August to unfreeze $6 billion for Iran, and since money is fungible, Iran could have freed up other budgetary resources to support terrorism, according to a report from the foreign policy experts at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a nonprofit focusing on national security and foreign policy.

The meeting where Iranian officials gave the authorization to carry out the attack was held in Beirut last Monday, the Journal noted. The newspaper confirmed the story with multiple officials in the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups and with a European official and an adviser to the Syrian government. The Biden administration claimed on Sunday that they did not have “any information” that the attack was planned by Iran.

The report noted that top Israeli officials have pledged to take out Iran’s leadership if they determine that Iran was behind the attack, which killed at least 700 Israelis, wounded 2,500+ more, and led to the kidnapping of over 100.
