FIRST A BULLETIN FROM THE JERUSALEM POST, QUOTING THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.  WE HAVE NO OTHER CONFIRMATION OF THIS, BUT IT HAS THAT RING OF TRUTH:

Hamas's attacks on Israel, which began Saturday morning, were planned weeks in advance with assistance from Iranian security officials, according to a Sunday report from The Wall Street Journal.

The report, citing senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, stated that the Iranian officials "gave the green light" for the attacks during a meeting between them and Hamas in Beirut last week.

IRGC officers worked with Hamas since August to plan incursions from the "air, land, and sea," the report noted. Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were also at the meetings in Beirut.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had praised the attacks, posting on X earlier this week that the cancer of the usurper Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the Resistance forces throughout the region."

COMMENT:  If this checks out, the story of the Hamas attack on Israel takes on an entirely new meaning, and has large implications.
