Iran denies supplying Fajr 5 rockets to Gaza

“We deny having delivered the Fajr 5 to the Palestinian resistance. The aim of such accusations is to portray the resistance as weak whereas it is perfectly capable of producing the arms it needs,” said Allaeddine Boroujerdi, head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee.

But Palestinian terrorist groups claim the Iranian made rockets are the primary reason they feel confident launching an offensive.

Batsh said in a press statement the groups’ use of Iranian-made Fajr-5 missiles introduced a new regional dynamic.
