Yesterday a spokesman for the military wing Hamas thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran for providing them with weapons, money and equipment to use “to destroy the Zionist fortresses.”
Here’s the news:
Breaking News Israel: Spokesperson of Izzuddin Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obaidah:
"We thank the Islamic Republic of Iran who provided us with weapons, money and other equipment! He gave us missiles to destroy Zionist fortresses, and helped us with standard anti-tank missiles!"… pic.twitter.com/bP6rCGMHQ6

According to several commenters on twitter, the translation is accurate.
Meanwhile, the White House claims it’s to early to know if Iran was involved:
A senior White House official told reporters that it is "too early" to know what involvement, if any, Iran had in the attacks in Israel. https://t.co/GZ1Qqnk3CD

Of course they’d say that. They just sent Iran $6 billion dollars which will fill this terrorist’s country coffers for many more attacks like this on Israel.
UPDATE: More proof that the White House is full of crap:
“A Hamas spokesperson told the BBC that the militant group had backing from its ally, Iran, for its surprise attacks on Israel” https://t.co/HsP4xBw6Nn
