(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - IDF Maj.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), on Monday criticized Saturday's visit to Iran by a high-profile Hamas delegation on his popular Arabic-language Facebook page.

Mordechai said, "The terrorist Hamas does not hide the fact that it has become a duplicate of Hizbullah in Gaza, but instead is proud of it," and that the Hamas delegation was in Iran to "take orders" from the Iranian government.
