Hamas Secured Hizbullah Pact for Joint Attack on Israel, Documents Reveal
(Ynet News) Yossi Yehoshua - Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar secured a commitment from Hizbullah before the Oct. 7 terrorist attack to launch a joint assault on Israel, according to documents discovered by the IDF in Khan Yunis. New findings show that Sinwar counted on this scenario, claiming to have received Hizbullah's commitment to its participation. One document revealed Sinwar saying, "We received a commitment that the axis will participate in the large liberation project due to the nature of the relationship we are working on." Additional documents stated that the operation in Israel will trigger concomitant action from the north, on which Hizbullah trained under the banner of "occupying the Galilee." According to an Israeli source, Hizbullah's basic desire was to join in immediately, but Iran held the organization back because it knew Israel would react forcefully. Essentially, Hizbullah's dangerous capabilities were not built by Tehran at a cost of a billion dollars a year to serve as a force multiplier for Hamas, but rather as a response to a potential Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
