Iran provides new details about its arming of Palestinian jihad terrorists in Gaza

It is common knowledge (or should be) that Iran funds Hamas and Hizballah, but the regime’s influence runs deeper than the mainstream media has generally cared to acknowledge.

Nevertheless, pro-Palestinian Westerners support the “Palestinian resistance” against Israel, believing the lies that the “resistance” is about human rights. It has been made clear repeatedly (and documented in the Charters of all the major Palestinian organizations) that the entire “resistance” is based on obliterating what jihadists call “the Zionist regime” from the River to the Sea. To support this “resistance” is to support the armed jihad against the State of Israel.

“Iran reveals ‘untold story’ of arming Palestinians in Gaza,” by Seth Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, January 11, 2022:

Iranian media, to mark the anniversary of the death of Qasem Soleimani, have provided unique new details about Iran’s support for Palestinian groups.

In a recent article from the Tasnim News branch located in Damascus, a report claims to provide new details on the “untold” story of how the Islamic Republic ran guns and technology to Palestinian groups. The report says that Soleimani, the Quds Force commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, worked for more than two decades to make Iran the “most relevant to different groups in Palestine” that were established.

Iran’s media says that Soleimani’s strategy was to “work closely with all these groups, regardless of their religious or political tastes, and this strategy was able to multiply the power of the resistance against the Zionist regime in Palestine.”

One of the groups was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC). The report claims to have interviewed the son of Ahmed Jabril, who it calls a “former Palestinian militant.” Jabril was born in 1938. Recent reports place him as a supporter of the Assad regime during the civil war in Syria, where reports say he played a role suppressing other Syrians in the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp.

Jabril died in July. The report says his son, Khalid, “currently the new deputy secretary-general of the front, spoke to Tasnim News Agency about the role of Soleimani in supporting Palestinian groups in the fight against the Zionist regime.”

The younger Jabril, the report says, helps the regime fight against “armed terrorist groups.” This is ironic in a roundabout way, as the group transitions from being a terrorist group to helping the Assad regime “fight terrorism” and goes from caring about Palestinians to being an enforcer of a regime.

Iran claims to support these “Palestinian” groups, even if they do nothing for Palestinians. What matters is that the report claims to shed light on how Iran funnels weapons and support to them.

ACCORDING TO the report, Tasnim news met with Khalid Jabril, who told them about meetings with Soleimani. He says he went to an office of the Quds Force leader years ago and the office was festooned with maps of Syria and the location of ISIS and Jabhat Nusra fighters there.

“We want to remove the black area from the map where ISIS has taken over parts of Iraq.” This was probably around 2015-2016; the article doesn’t specify. It says that the son of Ahmed Jabril is a graduate of a military academy, apparently a Syrian one.

“This great martyr chose a process in his life that transformed him from a simple builder to an international commander who was able to completely change the geography of the region,” Khalid said in describing Soleimani….
