As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps provided specialized combat training to 500 members of Palestinian terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The training occurred in Iran before a coordinated attack on Israel, involving land, air, and sea operations. Senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah confirmed Iran's involvement, disclosing that Iranian officers collaborated with Hamas since August. The plan aimed to create a multi-front threat, encircling Israel from all sides. In response, Israel conducted airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in over 6,500 casualties claimed by Palestinian authorities. International pressure mounts as world powers urge a temporary halt to the conflict and increased aid to Gaza.
