Israel to P5+1: Iran, Islamic Jihad behind rocket attack against our northern towns
Israel accused Iran and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad of deliberately orchestrating Thursday afternoon’s rocket attack along its northern border with Syria.
“We have credible information that the attack was carried out by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Organization and was facilitated and directed by an Iranian operative Saeed Izaddhi, who heads the Palestinian unit in the IRGC QODS force [part of the Iranian National Guard],” Israel said in a message it delivered to the six world powers.
The message was authorized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and sent out by the Foreign Ministry.
“This is another clear and blatant demonstration of Iran’s continued and unabating support and involvement in terrorist attacks against Israel and the region in general,” Israel said.
Earlier in the day, two missiles hit the Golan Heights and another two fell in the Upper Galilee. According to the IDF, they were fired at Israel from the center of the Syrian-held portion of the Golan Heights.
