On Thursday, Hezbollah announced that it had provided Gaza terror groups with sensitive intelligence information during the May war.
This is the first time that Hezbollah ever made this claim.
Deputy head of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, told Al Mayadeen TV that Hezbollah had informed the Gaza groups that Israel's implying that it had started a ground offensive was a deception.
On May 28, the editor-in-chief of Hezbollah mouthpiece Al-Akhbar, Ibrahim Al-Amin, said during an interview with Al-Manar TV channel that Hezbollah, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and Hamas established a military operations room in Beirut during the war.
Al-Amin added that the commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Major General Ismail Qani, visited Lebanon twice to attend the meetings of the groups.
Al-Amin claimed that Hezbollah and the Iranians provided the Gaza groups with data on the movements of the IDF, which supposedly thwarted the ambush of terrorists near the Gaza border.
Whether or not these specific examples are true, it shows that Iran was intimately involved in helping Hamas and Islamic Jihad during the fighting and that Hamas has access to state-level intelligence.
