Israel's representative to the United Nations Gilad Erdan shared a video in which the leaders of Hamas were seen purportedly thanking Iran for supporting the terrorist organisation with arms, money and other means. 
 
In the video shared, as per the translation provided by the ambassador, the leader can be seen saying, “Thanks to all those individuals, groups and countries, particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran, who have supported us generously with money, arms and other means, providing us with the missiles that have battered the zionist strongholds during past confrontations with the occupiers. They have also supported us with anti-tank type missiles which, by the grace of god, and the faith of our fighters, shattered the myth of zionist superiority.” 
 
While sharing the video, the envoy wrote, “If you had any doubt about who is funding and supporting this barbaric terror attack: here’s a video of Hamas terrorists thanking none other than IRAN for the weapons, money and rockets that helped the terrorists to slaughter and kidnap Israelis. The Ayatollah regime is the head of the octopus. Don’t look away.”

The comment of Erdan came hours after Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi stated that the country supports the right to self-defence of Palestinians and said that Israel needs to be held accountable for endangering the region. 
 
"Iran supports the legitimate defence of the Palestinian nation," stated Raisi, as quoted by state television. "The Zionist regime (Israel) and its supporters are responsible for endangering the security of nations in the region, and they must be held accountable in this matter,” he added. 
 
He further appealed to Muslim governments to "support the Palestinian nation" while appreciating "resistance" efforts by Hamas and other groups in countries which include Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.

"The resolute measures taken by Palestine constitute a wholly legitimate defence against seven decades of oppressive occupation and heinous crimes committed by the illegitimate Zionist regime," said Iran's UN mission, in a statement. 
 
"We emphatically stand in unflinching support of Palestine; however, we are not involved in Palestine's response, as it is taken solely by Palestine itself," Iran's UN mission stated. 
 
Iran's UN mission stated the Hamas operation achieved “success” because it was a surprise. 
 
"They are attempting to justify their failure and attribute it to Iran's intelligence power and operational planning," stated Iran's UN mission.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, however, added that "the damage related to the specific attack has been contained and additional measures implemented."

"The UN responds to multiple attacks at various levels of sophistication on a daily basis, this particular attack is not a landmark event," the spokesman added.

The world body said the hackers "did not compromise sensitive information" while adding that it faces "frequent attempts to access our computer systems".

Post the unprecedented cyber hack, additional mitigation measures have been implemented by the UN amid continuing threats of future attacks.&nbsp;
