An anonymous Palestinian official has informed the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, that the recent firing of a rocket towards northern Tel Aviv earlier this week was caused by a direct order from Iran.

Initially, Palestinian reports in Gaza indicated that the rocket launched earlier this week that hit a house in central Israel and started the escalation of violence in recent hours “by mistake” or even hinted that it was because of the weather.

However since than Palestinian and Egyptian sources reported that the, was fired by orders from Iran and to influence elections in Israel.

According to this official the launch was carried out without the knowledge of the high command of the political arm of Hamas in Gaza but in coordination with some of the leaders of Islamic Jihad and even with some low class officers of of Hamas who had enoug power to approve the launch.

Israel Hayom further reported that its Palestinian source admitted that the rocket was fired as an “attempt to influence elections and the political agenda in Israel and even to get Netanyahu and Likud removed from government.

They also added that in Gaza they were expecting that Israel would not launch a significant operation in Gaza two weeks before the elections and that is why they bet that Netanyahu would not order any strong attacks while he was in Washington.

The source also said that “according to all the indications they have, Iran is the one behind the order to fire the rocket, first and foremost to hinder Egyptian efforts to reach an agreement in Gaza and to create political chaos in Israel two weeks before the elections.
