Iran has issued denials and US has said it has no direct knowledge of Iran being behind attack
The Israeli military has said there is no concrete evidence of Iranian involvement in the Hamas attack from Gaza, after denials issued by the Iranian foreign ministry.
In June, Iran hosted a delegation of “Gaza Strip-based resistance movements’ officials”, the WSJ said, including the secretary general of Islamic Jihad, the second largest militant group inMore recently, Hamas’s representative in Lebanon was in Tehran for an Islamic unity conference. In a report published on 4 October, the Tasnim news agency said the representative spoke to participants about the need for “all Islamist parties to do everything in their power to liberate al-Quds ”.
Some Hamas social media accounts claim the Iranian army is eager to send drones into action, but most observers think any escalation into a multipronged war is more likely to come from Hezbollah in Lebanon. But support for Israel, once taboo in Arab states, is also being voiced. The United Arab Emirates, which was among the first Arab countries to sign a normalisation agreement with Israel, was the most forthright in criticising Hamas. It said it was “appalled by reports that Israeli civilians have been abducted as hostages from their homes”.
