– Hamas Increasingly Fighting With Israeli-Made Weapons:
Hamas has been using Israeli weapons against the Israeli military, finds a new investigation by New York Times. The Sunday piece posed the question, “Where Is Hamas Getting Its Weapons?” and answered: “Increasingly, From Israel.”
Israeli weapons were even used to some extent during the Oct.7 terror raids against communities in southern Israel. “Intelligence gathered during months of fighting revealed that, just as the Israeli authorities misjudged Hamas’s intentions before Oct. 7, they also underestimated its ability to obtain arms,” the report says based on intelligence officials and experts.
Hamas has been able to routinely recover undetonated Israeli bombs dropped on Gaza and then repurpose them to become an offensive weapon.
“Unexploded ordnance is a main source of explosives for Hamas,” Michael Cardash, former deputy head of the Israeli National Police Bomb Disposal Division, told the publication.
“Hamas has been able to build many of its rockets and anti-tank weaponry out of the thousands of munitions that failed to detonate when Israel lobbed them into Gaza,” the NYT report continues.
