I think you’re thinking of Hezbollah — the Shiite organization operating in Lebanon that fires rockets into Northern Israel from time-to-time. They are pretty tightly controlled by Iran.
Can’t keep the players straight without a score card.
So, Hamas is (sort of) Sunni (and by extension, Muslim Brotherhood, therefore, allies of the Current Regime), and Hezbollah is (sort of) Shi’ite. Doesn’t seem to keep them from trying to use a double-team when engaging Israel.
Maybe we can get them fighting each other. Or even better, get the Carter people engaged using sniper fire on the Current Regime.
Iran has been busily shipping all manner of weapons to Hamas. Iran is surely behind the Hamas offensive.
The rocket attacks by the Iranian surrogate Hamas are ineffective payback for the Israeli disruption and destruction of the Iranian nuc effort.
The effort was successful on the ground and an attack by air was not required.
