Iran has sent Hamass military wing tens of millions of dollars to help it rebuild the network of tunnels in Gaza destroyed by Israels invasion last summer, intelligence sources have told The Sunday Telegraph.
It is also funding new missile supplies to replenish stocks used to bombard residential neighbourhoods in Israel during the war, code-named Operation Protective Edge by Israel.
The renewed funding is a sign that the two old allies are putting behind them a rift caused by the conflict in Syria, where Shia Iran is backing President Bashar al-Assad against Hamass mainly Sunni allies.
Iran has sponsored Hamass military operations for years, despite the contradiction that Hamas is part of the worldwide, Sunni-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, while Iran is Shia.
Hamass leader, Khaled Meshaal, who left Damascus for Qatar after falling out with the Assad regime, has often fought with Hamass military wing over the strength of the Iranian connection.

Are Iran and Hamas still using child slave labor in which kids are crushed to death to dig their terror tunnels?

Hamas has another problem now. Egypt is building a wall and closing all access to Gaza from the Sinai.

Time for IDF to use peaceful nuclear explosions (PNE) in order to 1) Collapse tunnels, 2) create a nuclear-engineered ditch they can fill in with sea water (creating a helluva tunnel-proof barrier due to weight of water/seeping into limestone) and 3) a great message to the world that IDF officially possess enough devices and not afraid to use them......and at nearly zero cost in casualties.
