IDF Intelligence Chief: Iran Gives Anti-Israel Terror Groups Hundreds of Millions Annually

Iran is a major state sponsor of terrorism that gives anti-Israel groups hundreds of millions of dollars each year, the intelligence chief of the Israel Defense Forces said during the IDC Herzliya Conference on Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi detailed how Iran contributes $50 million to Hamas’ annual budget, while bankrolling its Shi’ite Lebanese proxy Hezbollah with $75 million and funding Palestinian Islamic Jihad with an additional $70 million, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Halevi also noted that Tehran transfers weapons and missiles while providing training and technology to these groups. Iran is regularly “acting to get exact and advanced weapons into Lebanon and Yemen,” Halevi said. It is also building facilities to produce precision weapons and advanced rockets inside Lebanon, a development which Israel says it will not tolerate.

See, Iran is called the largest state-sponsor of terrorism but it seems the vast majority of that funding goes towards their proxies against Israel. It seems different than the Salafist terrorism that is against everyone in the world.
Iran is involved in Yemen and other places, so it is in other areas as well.
I believe we need to stand by Israel but in a reasonable way. How that is defined is another matter.
