Palestinian: "Every rocket falling on Tel Aviv has #Soleimani's signature on it."

2/ The #Hamas-#Iran ties are very strong, but not publicized by the Western press. Hamas head, Ismail Haniyeh, delivered the eulogy at Soleimani’s funeral. Sitting with him was head of Islamic Jihad, Ismail Haniyeh, who was well-known to #Soleimani.
The two had special seating...

3/ Hamas' Haniyeh and PIJ's Nakhala sat RIGHT BEHIND the Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir and Pres @HassanRouhani at the #Soleimani funeral. Only the bodyguards separated them.
BTW in front of Haniyeh is the next likely SLeader, Chief Justice Ebrahim Raisi, crying at the funeral.

4/ The Iranian regime’s credo can be heard in the words of Soleimani before he died, “The blood of Imad [Mughniyeh] will be avenged by the removal and uprooting of the child-killing Zionist regime.”

* That's Ziyad Nakhala, head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, consulting with #Soleimani.
