More of the natterings first reported yesterday here.
[AlMasdar] The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
, revealed that the late commander of the Iranian Quds Force, Major General Qassem Soleimani
, who was assassinated by Washington about a year ago, was the person responsible for bringing Russian-made Kornet guided missiles to Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Nasrallah said in an interview with al-Mayadeen TV on Sunday: "Hajj Qassem Soleimani and his team did not fail at anything that could be offered to Paleostine at all levels."

He stressed, "The delivery of Kornet missiles to the Paleostinian resistance in Gaza was led by martyr Soleimani."

Nasrallah also pointed out that Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

agreed to deliver the Kornet missiles to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
(PIJ) in Gaza.

"The effort of Hajj Qassem Soleimani and the Quds Force in supporting the Paleostinian resistance factions was far from the spotlight and behind the scenes."

The Kornet is an anti-tank guided missile designed for use against battle tanks; it was first introduced for service with the Russian Army in 1998.

Soleimani was assassinated by the United States in the vicinity of the Baghdad International Airport on January 3rd, 2020.

In December 2010, the Paleostinians fired the Kornet missile for the first time at an Israeli Merkava 3 tank, which was participating in a patrol in the vicinity of Gaza.

Nasrallah’s comments on Sunday marked the first time that any leader from the Axis of Resistance® has revealed who was behind the supply of Kornet missiles to Hamas and the PIJ.
