Hamas officially announced for the first time that it has received funding and assistance in training from Hezbollah, which receives its financing and support from Iran and Syria.
Until recently, Hamas has denied all claims that it received funds from Hezbollah. Other Palestinian terror groups have done the same, charging the reports were "Israeli propaganda" aimed at implicating the Lebanese group with responsibility for the intifada, in a bid to generate international – and mainly American – pressure on Syria and Iran.
However, in the current report on the Hamas website, Hamas boasts that a cell in Ramallah that was sponsored by Hezbollah was one of the group's most prominent wings in the West Bank.
