Hamas has been planning more ambitious attacks on Israeli targets

Hamas had been plotting various attacks on Israel, including plans to blow up a skyscraper in Tel Aviv, as revealed by documents seized by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. The documents also showed requests for funding and training from Iran. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar promised to destroy Israel with Iran’s support. Iran initially stayed out of the conflict but its proxies continued attacks on Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces found plans for attacking various targets, including a high-rise building and the rail system. Iran has denied the allegations, calling Israel’s claims false.
