Iran and Hamas; the southern flank: Iran-Hamas Summit in Coming Weeks 21:26 Nov 01, '06 / 10 Cheshvan 5767 by Ezra HaLevi A Palestinian Authority-Iranian summit is to take place in the coming weeks with Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh traveling to Iran to meet with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The meeting was confirmed by Haniyeh’s office. This will be the first official visit of the Hamas leader to Iran, though Hamas terror chief Khaled Mashal (pictured above) met with Ahmadinejad previously. Iran has been a major backer of Hamas throughout the period since the terror group won the PA elections. During that time, most of the PA’s Western funding sources have withheld funding pending a Hamas recognition of the Jewish state. The top Hamas official will also be visiting Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Qatar, and Lebanon. Analysts are concerned that the Iranian-Hamas summit will increase the coordination between the two entities, both publicly seeking the liquidation of the Jewish state. Terror Group Claims it Fired Rocket in Samaria A terrorist group associated with the Popular Resistance Committee declared Wednesday that it had succeeded in firing a Nasser 1 missile at a Jewish community on the outskirts of Shechem. The IDF denied the report, saying no missile had fallen near the Jewish community of Migdalim, which was identified as the target by the Saladdin Brigades’ statement. "This is a present to the martyrs and their soul, to the injured and the prisoners, and it is the first step toward exterminating the Zionists through the missiles of the Palestinian resistance," the statement read. Rockets in Sderot Meanwhile, seven Kassam rockets were fired from Gaza toward the city of Sderot Wednesday. One of the rockets landed in the yard of a private residence, damaging cars and causing a number of residents to go into shock. Two other rockets smashed into a factory in Sderot's industrial zone, setting a fire and causin a minor spill of hazardous chemicals. Three people were lightly injured. Another Kassam rocket landed south of the city of Ashkelon, near a strategic facility. It failed to cause any damage or injury.
