Hamas: Iran Was Behind Rocket Attack on Central Israel

Both Hamas and Iran reportedly hoped that such rocket attacks would hurt Benjamin Netanyahu’s bid in the upcoming Knesset election.

By United With Israel Staff

A senior Hamas official reportedly has implicated Iran as the force behind the rocket attack into central Israel on Monday morning.

In that rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on the Israeli community of Mishmeret, seven people were hurt.

The Israel Hayom daily cites the senior Hamas figure as saying that Iran wanted such an attack to take place in order to hurt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his campaign for the April 9 Knesset election.

Tehran allegedly “went over the heads” of the leadership of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, and ordered an Islamic Jihad cell to carry out the attack. “In Gaza, it is believed that Israel won’t launch a major operation in Gaza two weeks before the elections,” the official said, according to the report.

Hamas was said to be surprised when Israel did, in fact, respond with a series of airstrikes on Gaza, even after the terror group had relayed a message to the mediating Egyptians that it was prepared to cease attacks in an arrangement of “quiet in exchange for quiet.”

While senior officials in both Egypt and Gaza reportedly confirmed that Iran had ordered the attack, they are said to have asserted that the Hamas leadership was aware of the plans to fire a rocket deep into Israeli territory.

The senior Hamas official cited by Israel Hayom said that his organization does hope that more rocket fire at Israel will hurt Netanyahu’s chances of remaining prime minister after the upcoming Knesset election.

The oil exemptions for Japan, Korea, and China will expire in a couple of days. It is time to get serious about Iran. The mullahs are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in Syria, Yeman,Israel and Iraq and Lebanon and throughout the world, The EU and the French Penguin Macron refuses to support the oil sanctions and the mullahs have arranged numerous ways to avoid them. The solution is to bomb and destroy the Iranian oil loading platforms in the Gulf and to mine the harbors That will crush the Iranian oil exports and lead to a collapse of their economy within a few months. The resistance will grow, and will need arms, not troops, for this is an Iranian fight. Crush the mullahs, Support the Resistance. Restore the Pahlavis.

Both Iran’s government and Hamas are essentially corrupt, failed entities.
