“While Doha-stationed Hamas officials have themselves stated that they, too, had no prior knowledge of the operation and that all the planning, decision-making, and directing were solely executed by Hamas’s military wing based in Gaza, any claim attempting to link it to Iran or Hezbollah -- either partially or wholly -- is devoid of credence and comes from fabricated documents”, the mission said in a statement on Saturday.
It issued the statement following reports by American media including The New York Times that claimed to have obtained documents seized by the Israeli military about how Hamas had planned the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation conducted on October 7, 2023.
The Times claimed that a review into the documents show that Hamas had long planned the operation and held meetings with Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement to seek their help and make them join the operation.
Ever since the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation was carried out, which was followed by the ongoing devastating Israeli war on Gaza, Iran time and again said that it had no prior knowledge of the operation and called it a fully Palestinian operation.
