Iranian Foothold in West Bank

Memri picks up on Arab media reports that Iran is positioning itself as a sugar daddy in the West Bank:

Salah Thabet, commander of 'Imad Mughniya groups in Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, has said that the groups are receiving economic and logistical aid from Iran.
Fatah sources said that some group members were trained by Hizbullah,which last year transferred thousands of dollars to West Bank residents to carry out terror attacks.

Co-opting Palestinian groups is bad enough. But co-opting the thugs who pay lip service to Mahmoud Abbas is outrageous. Where have you gone, Yasser Arafat?
