Former Israeli Army Chief Of General Staff Accuses Iran Of Funding Fatah, Hamas, Hizbullah

A former Israeli army chief of General Staff says Iran is funding all of the major opponents of Israel: Hizbullah, Fatah and Hamas. Gen. (ret.) Moshe Yaalon said in a speech on Tuesday that contrary to claims that all problems in the Middle East resulted from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “The source of the problem is Iran. The Iranians are giving money to Hamas, Fatah and Hizbullah.” Iranian news agencies reported on Tuesday that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard would hold two days of war games in the Gulf and Sea of Oman this week. The primary purpose of the exercise is to practice firing missiles.
