The terrorist group Hamas from Gaza was preparing for an attack on Israel reminiscent of 9/11. The stage was set. Iran was well-aware of every detail of this sinister plan. This disclosure came from leaked documents obtained by the Israeli Defense Forces from the tunnels in Khan Younis.
The New York Times and The Washington Post have crafted reports based on these documents. Israel held these documents for 10 months, provoking questions of why and how they were leaked now. There are claims that Israel deliberately leaked portions of these documents to build international opinion against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.

Some speculate that the release might be a strategic move to garner global support for Israel in the event of its attack on Iran, especially after Iran recently fired 180 ballistic missiles towards Israel. Israel aims to highlight Iran's tacit approval of Hamas' attack plans and its support.
What's Written in the Documents?
The documents clearly indicate that Iran was well-informed of Hamas' attack plans. Iran, along with its ally Hezbollah, aims to obliterate Israel in collaboration with Hamas.

The Times reported that in August 2023, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s deputy, Khalil al-Hayya, revealed their plan for an October attack to IRGC's Lebanon commander Mohammad Said Izadi—an intermediary between Palestinian terror factions and the Iranian regime, facilitating their dealings.
Iran Hands Control to Hezbollah
Both Hezbollah and Iran endorsed this 9/11-like attack plan. Hamas even sought financial aid from Iran to execute their plan successfully, extending an invitation for participation in the attack. Following this, Iran instructed Hezbollah to fire rockets and missiles during Hamas' attack but refrained from doing so themselves.

Originally, Hamas intended to execute this attack in 2022, during the tenure of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. At that time, Netanyahu was engaged with the Judicial Reform Plan amid political upheavals in Israel, which was heading for its fifth election in three and a half years. During the attack, Hezbollah launched numerous rockets toward Israel, supporting Hamas.
