WANA (Apr 07) – A Hamas official has dismissed the Israeli defense minister’s claim linking the Islamic Republic of Iran to the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation.

 

In an interview with Al Arabiya, the Hamas official described the so-called documents presented by Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, as baseless and strange.

 

He stated, “The documents released by the occupying regime’s defense minister are entirely false.”

 

These remarks came after Katz claimed on Sunday night that Israel had obtained documents proving Iran’s involvement in launching the operation.

 

This claim contradicts repeated statements from the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has emphasized it had no prior knowledge of the Palestinian resistance’s decision to launch the operation on October 7, 2023.
