Iran gives tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad motion in Gaza yearly, Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz mentioned yesterday.
“Iran, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, transfers know-how and makes an attempt to smuggle supplies to Gaza, that are then used to construct weapons geared toward civilians,” the Jerusalem Submit quoted Gantz as saying throughout a joint press convention with Cyprus’ Defence Minister Charalambos Petrides who’s visiting Tel Aviv.
“Islamic Jihad has an open tab in Iran,” he mentioned, including: “Iran gives Islamic Jihad in Gaza with tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} per yr.”
Gantz added that Islamic Jihad fired about 1,000 rockets at Israel in the course of the occupation state’s final assault on Gaza final weekend. He accused the Iranian regime of funding the Islamic Jihad motion, warning that Israel will proceed to behave towards Iran’s companions within the area.
