Iranian leaders say giving Hamas Military Assistance
Senior Iranian civilian and military leaders claim Tehran has
given Hamas military assistance, including longer-range missiles,
Radio Liberty reported.
General Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of Iran's powerful Revolutionary
Guard, says his country has given fighters in Gaza the ability to
produce longer-range missiles on their own, without direct
shipments.
Meanwhile, parliament speaker Ali Larijani said Tehran was "proud
to defend the people of Palestine and Hamas."
He said Iranian assistance had been financial and military.
Iran has never made a secret of its support for Israeli foes Hamas
and Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, but generally does not
acknowledge sending military aid.
Israel has accused Iran of supplying Hamas with its Fajr-5 missile,
used to target Tel Aviv since an Israeli offensive on Gaza was
launched a week ago.
