Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.

Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said.

Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said.

I have a feeling this is going to get real bad. It feels like Netanyahoo is going to use this as the excuse to take out Palestine permanently.

I hope I’m wrong, because if this did happen, likely other Arab countries would join in, and then the US would be forced to join, and then it’s a whole shitshow.

Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas spokesman, meanwhile told the BBC that the group had direct backing for the attack from Iran.

“the most significant breach of Israel’s borders”

Well they don’t seem to give two fucks about Palestinian borders. May as well be a normal Tuesday for them.

So was Hezbollah just hosting a meeting or are they going to get involved as well?
