Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has revealed that Iran has increased its funding of terrorism against Israel.

"Last month, Iran gave the Islamic Jihad USD 1.8 million, to carry out attacks against Israel," Mofaz told Ynet in an interview.

~Snip:

Mr. Defense Minister, we are a week away from elections. What effort is being made by terror organizations to carry out attacks?

"We know that Iran transferred in the last month USD 1.8 million to the Islamic Jihad organization in order to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel. This is direct aid from Iran, from which most of the money is transferred through Syria, and from there to the Islamic Jihad in the territories."
