MOSCOW, Oct 8. The Palestinian Hamas movement may have received American weapons from Ukraine to attack Israel, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted.
“
"We need to work with Israel to track the serial numbers of any American weapons used Hamas against Israel. Was it imported from Afghanistan? Did it come from Ukraine? It’s very likely that it’s both,” the politician believes.
On Saturday morning, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented-scale rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. The IDF press service stated that more than three thousand shells were launched. In addition, Hamas fighters, after massive rocket attacks, penetrated into the border areas in the south of the country.
The military wing of the Palestinian movement on Saturday announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces announced the launch of Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to the nation, said that the country was in a state of war and said that he had ordered a broad mobilization of reserves.
Russia called on both sides to cease fire and return to the negotiating table, said Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov .
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, related to the territorial interests of the parties, has been a source of tension and clashes in the region for many decades. The decision of the UN, with the active role of the USSR, in 1947 determined the creation of two states — Israel and Palestine, but only the Israeli one was created. Israel, while declaring agreement with the two-state principle, did not completely liberate the Palestinian territories.
