Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization, has confirmed that it received support for its recent surprise attacks on Israel from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
A spokesperson for the terror group told the BBC that it received support from Iran and others, although he declined to say who else provided support.
In Iran, people flocked to the streets to celebrate the deadly attacks — which killed hundreds of Israelis and wounded thousands more — shooting off fireworks, waving flags, and cheering, according to numerous images posted online.
