Newspaper writes that they are informed of this by high-ranking members of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Leaders from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard have been working with Hamas since August to plan the attack, the sources said. They gave the green light at a meeting in Beirut on Monday, according to the sources.
US officials have said they have no information that Iran was involved in the attack. An official, who wishes to remain anonymous, says that at this time they have no information that can confirm the information.

Attack airport
On Sunday evening, Hamas claims that it is attacking the main Ben Gurion airport in Israel. It writes The Times of Israel.
According to Washington Post US officials say they expect Israel to launch ground attacks on Gaza within the next 24 to 28 hours.
Over the weekend, at least 700 have been killed and 2,000 injured in Israel. In Gaza, the figures are 413 killed and 2,300 wounded.
In Israel, 260 of the dead will be at a rave festival, according to the newspaper Haaretz.
Pointing to Iran
One of the most renowned Middle East experts in Lebanon, Makram Rabah, has previously told NRK that Iran may have had a hand in the game:
– I think the reason why Hamas did this is that they were encouraged, or even ordered to do so, by Iran, says Rabah.
NRK has presented the allegations from Rabah to the Iranian embassy in Oslo. The embassy has sent a longer document signed by spokesperson Nasser Kanaani in the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The document does not counter the claims from Rabah or answer NRK’s questions, but it states, among other things:
– Operation “al-Aqsa Flood” was a spontaneous move by the resistance groups and the oppressed Palestinian people in defense of their inalienable and indisputable rights.
Several Israelis have been abducted by Hamas:
