Israeli Foreign Minister's Spokesperson: Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic is Behind Hamas Attacks

The spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Minister stated that Israel, the United States, and military experts agree that Iran is behind the recent Hamas attacks on Israel. Liav Hayat, in an interview with Fox News, said that Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the two Palestinian groups that attacked Israel, operate as proxies for the Islamic Republic. Major General Amir Avivi, former deputy commander of the Gaza Division of the Israel Defense Forces, also told Fox that Iran provides Hamas with tens of millions of dollars monthly and manages the group as its 'representative in the Gaza Strip.' Avivi added, 'Iran sees that Saudi Arabia and other pragmatic Sunni countries are beginning to normalize relations with Israel and are looking to strengthen the Iran-Hamas-Hezbollah axis around the Middle East.' He continued, 'Hezbollah issued a statement urging Arab countries to halt normalization efforts. We must unite behind the pragmatic Sunni Israel-American bloc and defeat terrorism wherever it operates. Iran provides munitions, training, and equipment, including smuggling through the Rafah tunnels and training within Iran for Hamas.' Ali Khamenei's website published a poster with large font stating: 'Al-Aqsa Storm' and 'The usurping regime will fall,' expressing support for Hamas's 'terrorist' operations on Israeli soil. The attack by the Hamas militia on Israeli territory on Saturday, October 7, has led to widespread reactions in the Persian-speaking social media, unanimously discussing the role of the Islamic Republic. In the context of the war, Houshang Hassan-Yari noted that a series of internal and external factors surprised the Israeli army: the unprecedented attacks by Hamas on Israeli citizens and the support of the Islamic Republic for this action. Amir Giti reported from Los Angeles that Iranian Jews are watching the unrest in Israel with concern and are ready to assist their co-religionists. Arian Reisbaf reported on the celebrations of Islamic Republic supporters following the Hamas terrorists' attack on the people of Israel. Evening news reported an increase in 'femicide' in Iran; at least 8 women were killed in two weeks.
