Iran "Almost Certainly" to Blame for Escalation
(Media Line-Jerusalem Post) Adi Koplewitz - The current escalation between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Gaza is the result of Iranian orders, says IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, former deputy commander of Israel's Gaza Division. "The military operation in Gaza began with an interception of a terror squad on its way to carry out an attack on Israel. This sort of attack...wouldn't just require approval from Tehran, but is most likely an Iranian initiative....PIJ is an absolute proxy of Iran. Tehran funds it and runs it."
