Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops operating in Gaza City have made a significant discovery, finding evidence that Hamas received assistance from Iran in producing precision-guided missiles and other strategic weapons. The IDF announced on Sunday that components used by Hamas to manufacture these weapons were found in Gaza’s Daraj and Tuffah districts.
According to the IDF, the discovered components prove that Hamas terrorists were trained under Iranian guidance to operate and build precision components and strategic weapons. Photos shared by the IDF show a rocket engine and warhead, solidifying their claim.
The weapons manufacturing plant, which was supported by Iran, was uncovered during an operation aimed at exposing a 330-foot terror tunnel. Alongside this discovery, IDF forces also found multiple terror tunnels and rocket launching pads, used to target the greater Tel Aviv area and Israeli communities near the Gaza border.
It is well-known that Iran supports Hamas through funding, intelligence, weapons, and technological knowledge. The Biden administration has labeled the Islamic Republic as being “complicit” in the Oct. 7 attacks. The Wall Street Journal reported that around 500 individuals affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad received specialized combat training in Iran leading up to the attacks.
The Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israeli communities near the Gaza border resulted in the deaths of at least 1,200 people. Currently, 129 individuals, including men, women, children, soldiers, and foreigners, are being held captive by Hamas in Gaza. Israeli authorities are actively working to identify bodies and search for human remains of those who remain unaccounted for.
