This is how Iran helped to strengthen Hamas against Israel

New Delhi, May 18, 2021, Tuesday

The world is watching the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. As many as 3,100 rockets have been fired at Israel by Hamas so far. Israel's retaliatory airstrikes have caused severe damage in Gaza.

While many high-rise buildings in Gaza have been reduced to rubble by Israeli attacks, rocket attacks have also damaged Israeli cities. It is alleged that Hamas helped Iran build the rocket. The British newspaper claimed in its report that Hamas, under the supervision of officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, a wing of the Iranian army, had developed rockets to harass Israel.

This wing of the army was commanded by General Suleimani. Last year, the US drone strike killed the Iranian general. Hamas was building rockets under the supervision of General Suleimani. Iran provided the technology to Hamas, and also set up a production facility in Gaza to build the rocket. As a result, Hamas's attacks on Israel are more powerful than ever.

Relations between Iran and Hamas have strengthened over the past five years. Iran has been instrumental in Hamas's efforts to regain power following Israel's 2014 attack on Gaza. A Hamas spokesman also thanked Iran, saying "Iran has not stopped our funding and has provided assistance other than weapons." This is the reason why Hamas is looking more powerful than before. Hamas has also launched Badr-3 type missiles in the attack so far. The missile was made by Iran and was first used against Saudi Arabia by the Huthi group, a Yemeni rebel group.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said in 2019 that "if we did not have the support of Iran, our strength would not increase so much." We have so many weapons right now that we can attack for 6 months.
