Hebrew media: During the war, Hamas used to get the ammunition it wanted from the Israeli army
During the last hundred and several days of Israel's war against the Gaza Strip, not only the weapons production centers for Hamas did not stop, but Palestinian fighters are using the non-functional rockets of the Israeli army to produce anti-armor missiles and bullets. |
According to the Hebrew group Tasnim News Agency
, Yediot Aharanot newspaper reported in a report that Israeli intelligence and military officials have come to the conclusion that most of the weapons used by Hamas after the start of the ground war against the Gaza Strip came from an unpredictable source such as the Israeli army. .
It supplies itself through smuggling and through tunnels, but the new information obtained showed that this group created its weapons arsenal by recycling thousands of bullets and rockets that the Israeli army used against the Gaza Strip and failed to act. brought, while the weapons of his forces were also provided through stolen weapons from inside the Israeli army base.
Quoting from the original report, the collected security information shows that just as Israel failed to discover and neutralize Hamas plans before the October 7 surprise operation, it did not know the main source of weapons and ammunition for this group, and in this regard, has suffered a severe defeat.
Meanwhile, in a report published early last year, it was determined that thousands of bullets and hundreds of guns and grenades have been stolen from Israeli army bases, some of which have reached the hands of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), but now it is known that larger quantities have entered Gaza through the Sinai desert, and this information means that the weapon We used to supply our enemy.
It is emphasized in another part of the report that when the Czech and neutral forces of the Israeli army fired one of the missiles against Israel, it turned out that this missile is very similar to the missiles that were fired at the Gaza Strip before, and apparently it did not work and Hamas copied it.
Two Israeli intelligence sources also announced that until October 7, about 12 small tunnels were operating between Sinai and the Gaza Strip, which according to the spokesman of the Egyptian government, the Egyptian army blocked them on the Egyptian side. Most of the weapons that Hamas currently possesses have been transferred to the Gaza Strip through areas under Israeli control. According to Aharanot, The conducted researches show that Hamas has found a very high capability in recycling Israel’s defunct weapons and in previous wars it was able to use even 900 kg explosive warheads by neutralizing its explosives to produce its own ammunition. Hamas has significant military industries in Gaza.
According to an Israeli security expert, part of this production of Hamas weapons and ammunition is on the ground, but Most of it is underground and this industry is able to meet the needs of Hamas. Less than 10% of the munitions used in wars do not work, but in relation to Israel, this figure is much higher, especially since in the current war, some of the munitions used against the Gaza Strip belong to the missiles of the Vietnam war, so the probability of not working 15 percent of these weapons are there. Israeli regime
Although it was expected that this would happen, the available volume has greatly surprised the experts.
