Hamas is able to fire missiles into Israel because Tehran provided weapons technology to the militant group to defend itself against Israeli attacks, a senior Iranian official said Monday.

Officials from Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards have said in the past that Fajr-5 missiles are part of Hamas’ Gaza Strip arsenal, whose technology has been supplied by Iran and produced locally without needing direct shipment.

“Palestinian resistance missiles are the blessings of Iran’s transfer of technology,” the Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council, Mohsen Rezaei, was quoted as saying by Al-Alam, the Arabic channel of Iran’s state TV. “We need to transfer defensive and military technology to Palestinians so that they can build weapons under the blockade and defend themselves,” he added. …

This spokesanimal Mohsen Rezaei also needs to be removed. Hang him, shoot him, poison him, use him for Ebola research-—your choice.

Iran has been the main supplier of Hamas for some time.

“Palestinian resistance missiles are the blessings of Iran’s transfer of technology,” 

Perhaps Israel should give Iran’s oil refineries the “blessings” of a few dozen cruise missiles.

Agreed. For every Hamas missle, Gaza should lose 1/4 mile of land forever. Just dust everey structure, and salt the earth. Next missle, next 1/4 mile. After a while, the Gazan’s will take care of the problem. But, they don’tget the land back, no mater what. EVER.

The less populated north and south gaza areas - outside the city- should be retaken immediately as a cost for the islamonazis for launching all their bombs at Israel. Immediately. Israel can return its citizens to the southern gaza towns they came from — and remove any future risk of weapons resupply from the south or Sinai. And a buffer zone of northern gas a to provide tel aviv that much more protection

Facilities where weapons are produced remain intact

How can Hamas manufacture all missile parts locally behind the blockade? That is not plausible.

It would seem that the blockade is not too effective, i.e. a porous Rafah crossing and tunneling under the Philadelphia Route.

Under either of these conditions, how could one of the Israeli strategies be demilitarization by attrition? The Iranians brag that the Israelis can never find all the tunnels. In any event, they could be rebuilt. Is el-Sisi really enforcing a complete blockade? If so, will it continue long?

Israel needs security control over all of Gaza.

Iran does not care about the Gazans.
Gaza is being used by Iran to test its missile systems.
Don’t assume those tests have been a failure as any information gained by those missile misses is used to make the next batch of missiles better.

How about we send him to paradise, with 72 virgins, like Helen Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney, the Mooch, the Hildebeast, Sandra Fluke, Cindy Sheehan, to name a few? I wonder if that would put the fear of God in him?

“Officials from Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards have said in the past that Fajr-5 missiles are part of Hamas’ Gaza Strip arsenal, whose technology has been supplied by Iran and produced locally without needing direct shipment”......

If said missiles are not better at hitting their intended targets, guess Iran and Hamas’s capabilities are not as far advanced as one would expect.

I dunno. Some men are none too choosy. With a lowlife piece of garbage like this guy, he might indeed be in Paradise with the like of these nags for women. With people so obsessed with women not arousing men that they cut off their external genitals and/or sew them up, that they insist they walk around inside a bag, that they are not allowed to leave the house without a man, etc., it might not take too much to excite and delight this moron.
