Israel allegedly reveals documents showing Iran having foreknowledge of the October 7th Attacks on Israel and directly financing them.
Defense Minister Israel Katz reveals an intelligence document showing that Hamas's leaders Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif sent a letter to Iran's IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani in June 2021 seeking support for the terror group's plans to invade Israel, which was ultimately carried out on October 7, 2023.
"I am presenting a document here for the first time, which was found in the tunnels of senior Hamas officials in Gaza, which proves a direct relationship between Iran and Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif, as part of Iran's support for the Hamas plan to destroy Israel," Katz says during a visit to the Military Intelligence Directorate's so-called intelligence collection and technical spoils unit — known by its Hebrew acronym Amshat.
"In the document, they ask of the commander of the [Islamic] Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force to transfer $500 million for destroying the State of Israel," he says.
The document shows that Hamas demanded from Iran $20 million per month over two years, "to achieve these great goals, through which we will change the face of the world."
"We are confident that by the end of these two years, or during them, God willing, we will uproot this monstrous entity, and we will end this dark period in the history of our nation," the letter reads.
Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestinian Division in the IRGC, "accepted the request and replied to them that Iran, despite its difficult economic situation and the plight of the Iranian population, will continue to funnel money to Hamas, because the struggle against Israel and the US is the top priority of the Iranian regime," Katz says.
The defense minister says "The conclusion is clear: Iran is the head of the serpent, and despite all its denials, it is also funding and advancing terror in all areas, from Gaza, through Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and now with the Houthis in Yemen, under the desire to destroy Israel."
"Israel will do everything possible to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and will continue to hit its proxies in the region until the Iranian evil axis is crushed and defeated," Katz adds.
