Palestine Press Agency notes that Hamas leaders sent notes of condolence to Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah in the wake of last week's bombings in Lebanon.

This is not an isolated communication; Hamas and Hezbollah have held a number of meetings recently in order to try to get Hamas back in the good graces of Iran.

According to the report, Hamas wants to rejoin the so-called "axis of resistance" that includes Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and other organizations loyal to to Iran.

Sources said that Tehran has in recent months renewed material support to Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades and sent some weapons and missiles through the Sinai despite the Egyptian campaign in the region to prevent smuggling operations and the closure of the tunnels completely.

There are indications that relations between Hamas and Iran are still rocky, with Hamas not supporting the Shiite groups fighting in Yemen.
