News - Israeli president accuses Iran of "backing" Hamas attack

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has accused Iran of "backing" the recent Hamas attack, and he is calling on the international community to support Israel in condemning both Palestinian militants and Tehran. "Today we saw the true face of Hamas," Herzog stated on his microblog on X. "A terrorist army whose only goal is the cold-blooded murder of innocent men, women, and children." Herzog emphasized that Israel will take all necessary measures to eliminate this "clear and present danger" to Israeli citizens. It is worth noting that today, since early morning, the Palestinian group Hamas has launched rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Both sides have suffered casualties, and fierce battles are ongoing with Hamas members in central and southern Israel.
