The Gaza Escalation: A Message from Iran
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Of course, Hamas is behind the ambush at the Gaza border fence. No other organization in Gaza can initiate such an attack without a green light from Hamas. We know that Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is in direct contact with the military leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. He is trying to escalate the situation in order to send a message to Israel not to carry out further attacks in Syria.
