Givin how thin the sourcing is on this (basically just a random anon "Hamas official") the WSJ was reckless in publishing this without stronger confirmation. Fanning the flames right now on such thin foundation is not helping anyone.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
The article clearly states that the US has no evidence to support that Iran was involved and Hamas officially stated that they did this on their own. Everyone just wants to find a reason to invade Iran.
As I said elsewhere, Hamas wants a wider conflict.
Yeah, so does Russia
If Russia wanted to involve NATO, it knows how. Pretty easy. Bomb Poland and the dog is off the chain.
They quote senior Hamas and Hezbollah officials and:
A European official and an adviser to the Syrian government, however, gave the same account of Iran’s involvement in the lead-up to the attack as the senior Hamas and Hezbollah members.
That's not single source
For me it's still thinly sourced. The goal of these terrorists clowns, Hamas and Hezbollah, is to goad into a wider conflict and make this last as long as possible. These articles are just doing the job for them.
Regular PR. Not proof of compliance
Are you seriously saying that Iran doesn't support these terror groups financially?
NO. I'm saying that there is scant evidence that they have direct involment with this attack.
Other than all the weapons and cash and celebrations over ravers getting killed

Still no smoking gun. They are enablers for sure.
Just happened to bump into each other in June...
You seem to want to prove something you can't. I don't know why. If you want the conflict to widen, it probably will do so on it's own. Some people just like to see blood I guess, as long as it's not theirs.
You seem to be in denial
