Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed, for the first time, communications between Tehran and slain Hamas leaders Mohammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar.
"This is definitive proof of Iran's support for Hamas's plan to destroy Israel and for the Oct. 7, [2023], massacre," Katz said. "Deif and Sinwar demanded $500 million from the Quds Force commander to support the annihilation of Israel and the fight against the U.S.—and they got it."
Katz visited the IDF's Intelligence and Technological Systems Unit (AMASHT) on Saturday and received a briefing from unit commanders on its intelligence and operational activities.
"I'm here today visiting the AMASHT unit — a special unit established during the Swords of Iron war and composed of reservists with extensive civilian-sector expertise, who developed national-level capabilities that did not yet exist," he said.
He added that this intelligence capability holds critical material physically collected from deep inside enemy territory, including Hamas archives, Hezbollah documents, and other sensitive intelligence sources.
"Today I am presenting, for the first time, a transcript of conversations found in the tunnels of senior Hamas officials in Gaza, which proves a direct connection between Iran and Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif, as part of Iran's support for Hamas's plan to destroy Israel. The document shows they requested $500 million from the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force to help destroy the State of Israel," Katz said.
According to the document, the head of the Quds Force's Palestinian Affairs Branch, Hassan Izadi, responded affirmatively to the request, saying that despite Iran's dire economic situation and the hardships faced by the Iranian people, the regime would continue funding Hamas, because the fight against Israel and the U.S. remains the regime's top priority.
Katz concluded, "Iran is the head of the snake. Despite all its denials, it continues to finance and promote terrorism across all fronts — from Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria to Judea and Samaria, and now even with the Houthis in Yemen — all under the banner of Israel's destruction.
"Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and will continue to strike at its proxies across the region until the Iranian axis of evil is dismantled and defeated."

Wall Street's main indexes reversed course and moved sharply higher after White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said in an interview that President Donald Trump was considering a 90-day tariff pause on all countries expect China.
At 10:20 a.m. the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 333.50 points, or 0.87%, to 38,614.49, the S&P 500 gained 79.99 points, or 1.69%, to 5,154.07 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 362.69 points, or 2.33%, to 15,950.47.
Earlier in morning trading, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yields fell to 3.953%, with investors pricing in a chance of a fifth interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserve this year.
S&P 500 futures plunged more than 20% from their peak, suggesting the benchmark index has been in a bear market since February if it closes down 20% from its all-time highs.
Trump told reporters late on Sunday that investors must endure the consequences and that he would refrain from negotiating with China until the U.S. trade deficit is addressed.
In the two sessions after Trump's tariff decision, the index has tumbled 10.5%, erasing nearly $5 trillion in market value, marking its most significant two-day loss since March 2020.
By 5:56 a.m. EST U.S. S&P 500 E-minis were down 168 points, or 3.28%, Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 636 points, or 3.64%, Dow E-minis were down 1,216 points, or 3.16%.
The CBOE Volatility Index, seen as Wall Street's fear gauge, was up 7.57 points at 52.88.
The sharp declines in the last two sessions pushed the tech-heavy Nasdaq into bear market, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped more than 10% from its record-closing high.
The fear of a tariff-led recession caused markets to bring into play the chances of an interest-rate cut in May, with traders seeing a 54% possibility.
Meanwhile, the week ahead is packed with a series of economic indicators, with consumer price data set to take center stage on Thursday.
