Israeli army: Iran directly supports Hamas ‘even now’

Israel has again accused Iran of supplying Hamas with arms, cash and other assistance. “Iran directly aided Hamas before the [latest Gaza] war with training, supplying weapons, money, and technological know-how,” Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said during a news briefing. “Even now, Iranian aid to Hamas in the form of intelligence and online incitement against the State of Israel continues.” The credit rating agency S&P says it is downgrading Israel’s rating outlook to “negative” to reflect “the risk that the Israel-Hamas war could spread more widely or affect Israel’s credit metrics more negatively than we expect”. Fitch Ratings has also placed a similar negative watch on Israel amid the ongoing conflict. Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher joins us live from Occupied East Jerusalem for the latest updates.
