Iran Says They Have Given Hamas Ability To Produce Fajr-5

(Wednesday, November 21st, 2012)

An Iranian news agency says the head of Iran?s powerful Revolutionary Guard has disclosed his country has given terrorists in Gaza the ability to produce longer-range missiles on their own, without direct shipments.

The comments by General Mohammad Ali Jafari, quoted by the semiofficial ISNA news agency, offer some of the clearest insights on Iran?s weapons support for Hamas, whose Iranian-engineered Fajr-5 missiles have struck near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem this past week.

The report on Wednesday quotes Jafari as saying Iran has supplied technology to Gaza for the missiles to be produced ?quickly?.

Up to now, Iran denied it directly supplied Hamas with the Fajr-5.

Iran also backs the anti-Israel Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon, which fired thousands of rockets into Israel during a monthlong 2006 war.
