HOLY LAND: THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY ARRESTS 7 IRANIANS AT THE "GAZA ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY"

Iranians arrested in raid on Gaza's Islamic university

Palestinian security arrested seven Iranian citizens during a raid at the Islamic University, a Hamas stronghold in Gaza City, a security official said, and another committed suicide during the raid.

The raid came during a large-scale assault by Fatah-affiliated gunmen on the university.

A Hamas official denied the claim and said there were no Iranian citizens at the university.

The raid came at the end of a day of clashes that collapsed a three-day truce between the warring factions.

Iran has supplied Hamas with funds, but there have been no previous claims of Iranians working with Hamas in Gaza.

Iran has its finger in all kinds of pies...
