Iranian official: Hamas must do more to protect civilians

A high-ranking Iranian official criticizes Hamas for failing to protect civilians in the Gaza Strip during the conflict with Israel, saying the group should in future allow civilians to hide in its tunnels.

“They use the tunnels to launch missiles, but they should also use them to protect civilians,” Mohsen Rezai, a member of the Iranian government and an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tells Iran’s Al-Alam news network.
