The Israeli military said it recovered internal Hamas documents in the Gaza Strip that suggest that Hezbollah allowed the Palestinian terror group to establish positions inside Lebanese territory without official state approval and with Iranian coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Hamas and Hezbollah are U.S.-designated terror organizations backed by the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, a spokeswoman for the Arabic media division of the Israeli military, said the documents detail meetings between top Hamas and Hezbollah officials, including a Quds Force commander, to approve joint military projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call on the Lebanese government to take practical and meaningful measures against Hezbollah, whose representatives still serve as ministers within it,\u201d the Israeli foreign minister said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The reports suggest that Hezbollah agreed to store and transport weapons for Hamas, provide financial support and help build up its forces and rocket capabilities in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the IDF, the documents show that Hezbollah operates in southern Lebanon as \u201ca state within a state,\u201d compromising Lebanese sovereignty in service of Iranian interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi said<\/a> on Tuesday that he revoked the approval of Iran\u2019s designated ambassador to Lebanon and ordered him to leave the country within five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar stated that it was a \u201cjustified and necessary step against the state responsible for violating Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty, for its indirect occupation through Hezbollah and for dragging it into war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call on the Lebanese government to take practical and meaningful measures against Hezbollah, whose representatives still serve as ministers within it,\u201d Sa\u2019ar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raggi stated earlier that he instructed the ministry\u2019s secretary-general to summon Iran\u2019s envoy in Beirut to convey the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohammad Reza Shibani, who was nominated to be Tehran\u2019s ambassador, was declared persona non grata<\/em>. He must depart Lebanon by March 29, according to Raggi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
