Iran denied a new report about "secret documents" linking the country to Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

TEHRAN, Oct 13, 2024 (BSS/XINHUA) - Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations in New York rejected on Saturday claims linking Tehran to Hamas' October 7 surprise attack on Israel, according to the official news agency IRNA.

Israel’s military shared with journalists documents that it said its soldiers found in Gaza and appear to show financial and military support provided by Iran to Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas before the October 7 attacks.

Letters and meeting minutes shared by Israel’s military appear to show Hamas seeking funding from Tehran and trying to win support from Hezbollah.

The Times reviewed the minutes of 10 meetings among Hamas’s top leaders. The records show the militant group avoided several escalations since 2021 to falsely imply it had been deterred — while seeking Iranian support for a major attack.

Years before the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, Hamas’ leaders plotted a far deadlier wave of terrorist assaults against Israel.

Hamas tried to convince Iran to join in the Oct 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, minutes of secret meetings have revealed.

A document found the plan to destroy a skyscraper in Tel Aviv, the 70-story Moshe Aviv Tower and the Azrieli Mall complex.

Hamas delayed its terror attack on southern Israel by a year in an effort to recruit Iran and Hezbollah into the plot, which the group referred to as the “big project,” according to a stunning new report.
