Says its missiles in Hamas hands damage Jewish nation’s F16s

Iran is now claiming that it has armed Hamas with antiaircraft missiles and that the militants have hit and damaged several sophisticated Israeli warplanes.

Earlier it was reported Iranian surface-to-surface missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv were in Hamas’ hands. Such capability long has been a dream of Iranian missile designers, and now Hamas has that added threat. 

Meanwhile, a bomb exploded on a bus in Tel Aviv Wednesday, injuring 22 people, just hours before a cease-fire was announced in Cairo between the Israelis and Hamas militants. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “more forceful” action if the cease-fire didn’t take hold.

Mashregh, a news media outlet run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, reported Wednesday that the conflict in Gaza is quite different from the one in 2009 when Palestinian fighters were limited to Ghassam rockets with a range of only six miles and a warhead of just 22 pounds. Now the Hamas militants are equipped with Fajr-5 missiles, which have a range of 50 miles and a warhead of 385 pounds.

The biggest problem for the Palestinian fighters had been their complete vulnerability to Israeli airstrikes. That has changed, Mashregh wrote, with news within the past week that not only an Israeli drone was hit but Israeli helicopters and as many as 10 F16 fighters were targeted and damaged by antiaircraft missiles.

  • Finally they are starting to tell us the truth.
    The whole Middle East are pro-western stooges.
    All of them!
    Iran, Israel, Gaza, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria included.
    All of them happily engaged to create the WW3, because they are PAID to lie.
    Whatever the TRUE CAUSE of this mass deception, it’s hard to accept the lies.
