| IDF published proof of Iran’s hand in Gaza war |
| 2025-06-22 |
| [IsraelTimes] On Saturday the IDF published intelligence documents it said were found in a Hamas tunnel underneath the European hospital in southern Gaza — where the terror group’s leader Muhammad Sinwar was killed in a strike last month — revealing how IRGC official Saeed Izadi was working to arm and fund Hamas during the war, on behalf of the Iranian regime. “Our forces discovered documents clearly indicating that in recent months, the leadership of Hamas’s military wing continued its ties with Saeed Izadi, its Iranian patron who was eliminated overnight,” the IDF said. Izadi was the IRGC Quds Force’s Palestine Corps chief and was killed in an Israeli strike in western Iran overnight. “The documents now being released show correspondence between Muhammad Sinwar and Saeed Izadi, detailing the ‘Tufan (Deluge) 1’ plan, under which Izadi advanced the transfer of weapons to Hamas valued at approximately $21 million, and his intention to advance the ‘Tufan 2’ plan, for the transfer of weapons valued at approximately $25 million,” the military said. The IDF said that these two plans “did not materialize as intended” due to operations of the Intelligence Directorate, Southern Command, and Shin Bet. “For years, Izadi transferred weapons to support Hamas’s terror activities against the State of Israel and continued to do so in recent months. The documents now being revealed join many others uncovered during the war, attesting to Izadi’s role in funding and arming the Hamas terror organization,” the military added. |

| #5 Hamas jumped the gun again without their allies, Lord Garth, and nobody was ready for it. I think it was a few months earlier — some time after Israel had found and blocked Hamas’s cross-border tunnels into Israel — that Israel had found Hezbollah’s tunnels under the border, and called the UNIFIL commanders over to watch with them as whatever the IDF had pumped in poured out down the Lebanese hillside and hardened. I seem to recall it came out bright pink, but I may be misremembering… We have the story with video somewhere in the Rantburg archives. So Hezbollah going through the border fence would have been possible, but the morale-breaking surprise of appearing halfway down the hillside on the Israeli side had been stolen from them. |

| #4 if Iran had fired a 150 missile barrage on Israel on Oct 7 after the Hamas invasion and if Hezbollah had also sent a landside invasion and aerial bombardment, it would have been touch and go for a while. For some reason they didn't. Might find out someday. |

| #3 Is this like when Netanyahu went on Fox and swore that Iran was about to develop an ICBM with an 8000km range that could reach CONUS. And we needed to start a new war with Iran right now. Well, I guess that's true about the ICBM. I can see no other reason a president that was elected with a democratic mandate of "no to war" suddenly starts a new war. Either that or some crazy conspiracy theories about secret control of the US government by foreign forces are true, covid came from a lab or Hollywood elites rape minors on an island somewhere. |

| #1 There will be a spike in activity by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi and then the new normal graph of jihadi hijinks will be at a much lower value. |
