A top Israeli military official said that his country has \u201cevidence of Iranian involvement\u201d in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack which killed at least 1,400 people.<\/p>\n

Major General Michael Edelstein, a combat veteran in the Israel Defence Forces Southern Command, said Hamas attackers were \u201cwell trained, well equipped\u201d.<\/p>\n

He told journalists on Monday: \u201cYou definitely can see evidence, we have evidence of Iranian involvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the commander did not provide evidence for the claim and would not elaborate on specifics but added that it was \u201cmore than just equipment\u201d.<\/p>\n

The General said: \u201cThey built some training sites within Gaza and I can tell they act very professionally, unfortunately. In a very evil way. But this is the way they were trained to act.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He would not say whether Hamas terrorists who stormed over the Israel-Gaza border on October 7 had been trained abroad.<\/p>\n

His comments appear to go further than other officials to link Iran to the bloodshed in Israel amid worldwide fears that conflict could engulf the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Major players including China and the US have moved warships to the region while Iranian proxies including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen have fired missiles in the region. The former has been involved in direct clashes with the IDF.<\/p>\n

Iran has long provided Hamas with equipment as well as political and financial support but direct involvement in the planning and execution of the attack would likely enflame tensions further.<\/p>\n

Major General Edelstein claimed Hamas carefully planned the brutal killing and rape of Israeli civilians.<\/p>\n
