Friday, 12/20/2024

Hamas documents captured by Israel have uncovered details about Iran’s transnational routes through Syria, Lebanon, and the West Bank used to supply weapons to its allied groups, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The documents detail the collapse of a Hamas smuggling network in Jordan and how the group, along with Iran, attempted to transfer weapons to the West Bank to spark a new front against Israel.

It also highlights the involvement of Russia, despite being an ally of Iran, in disrupting smuggling operations in the Syria-Jordan-Israel border triangle, alongside measures by the US, Israel, and Jordan to block Iranian arms transfers through sanctions, airstrikes, and enhanced border controls.
