IDF spokesman Maj. Gen. Daniel Hagari said during an evening briefing. Said:
Tonight, we will release some of the intelligence our forces uncovered there that shows a direct “link” between Iran and Hamas, as well as Yahya Sinwar. We discovered official Hamas documents from 2020 detailing funds transferred from Iran to Hamas and Sinwar between 2014 and 2020. More than $150 million was transferred from Iran to Hamas.
