Where does the weapon of resistance in the West Bank come from?

According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency, since two weeks ago on Wednesday, when the Zionist army started its extensive military operation in the West Bank, the military branches The Palestinian resistance announced that they used explosives to stand against the Zionist occupying forces and blew up the regime’s military vehicles. During these operations of the Palestinian fighters, the Zionists suffered material and human losses, and in addition to the destruction of several military vehicles, a number of Zionist soldiers were also injured, and some reports indicate that some of them were killed.

Where do the Palestinians in the West Bank get their weapons? will they bring?

Meanwhile, due to the failure of the occupying regime in advancing the conflicts in the north of the West Bank to its advantage, And the Zionist soldiers ambushing the Palestinian resistance fighters is an old question that is repeated again and again, that is, how do the Palestinians in the West Bank get weapons and equipment, and what tools do they use to make explosives?

The occupied West Bank is under strict security and military measures of the occupying regime, and more than 700 military checkpoints belong to to the Zionist army throughout the West Bank.

Certainly, the Palestinian groups do not reveal the sources of their weapons and equipment and how they make explosives; But according to the reports published by the Hebrew media and the Zionist army, as well as some experts, it may be possible to get some information about the sources of these weapons.

Youssef Al-Sharqawi, an analyst of Palestinian military affairs, believes that the occupation of the Zionist regime is the most important motivation for the formation of battalions. And there are resistance groups in the West Bank, and if there was no occupation, armed resistance groups would not have formed.

In an interview with Al Jazeera about the weapons sources of the Palestinians in the West Bank, he said: the arms market in the West Bank The West Bank is open and the most important of which is the market of the Zionist regime, and the Palestinian tribes and groups obtain the weapons of the occupying army in different ways. 76 years after the beginning of the Zionist occupation of Palestine and 56 years after the occupation of the West Bank by this regime, Palestinian groups have an experience that enables them to obtain weapons and military equipment related to the Israeli army without disclosing their weapons sources. /span>

Al-Sharqawi said about the sources of explosives that Palestinian fighters make in the West Bank, that the Zionist regime has explicitly announced The raw materials for making these materials are available in the market, and the method of making and preparing them is also available on the Internet. In this regard, the Zionists have confiscated Palestinian fertilizers and agricultural products several times in the West Bank, under the pretext that these fertilizers are used as raw materials for making explosive weapons.

This expert on Palestinian affairs stressed: The Zionist occupation regime still intends to continue the war in the West Bank and scare the Palestinians. In this region, it has and may resort to the destruction of cities and camps and cause a lot of damage; But in the end it will fail.

Zionist claims about arms smuggling from the border Jordan

On the other hand, “Omar Jaara”, an analyst of military affairs and an expert in the affairs of the Zionist regime, said that between the battalions The armed forces in the West Bank, who have not received prior training, are very different from the military battalions in Gaza. The occupiers have been trying to paint a new face of the West Bank with various claims, including the passage of rocket equipment from the borders of the West Bank to the occupied territories of 1948, and they say that a danger similar to the Al-Aqsa storm operation is directed at the Zionists from the borders of the West Bank.

This Palestinian analyst added: despite the many services that the self-governing organization provides to the Zionist regime and the security coordination of this Organizations are with the enemy, but the occupying regime seeks to destroy all Palestinians and does not distinguish between other Palestinians and the self-governing organizations.

He clarified: Here we must mention the history of resistance in the West Bank against occupation, including Stone intifada, knife intifada and even “fireworks” intifada. Therefore, no matter what the Zionists do, they cannot suppress the resistance in the West Bank.

He said about the arming of the resistance groups in the West Bank: Hebrew media advertises that the weapons come from Iran and enters the West Bank through Jordan; If these claims are completely false. The fact is that the Palestinians in the West Bank lack facilities and their military power cannot be compared with the resistance in the Gaza Strip.

It should be noted that in June, the Zionist newspaper “Israel Hum” claimed in a report that the operations Weapons are smuggled from Jordan to the West Bank and this issue has disturbed the balance.

At that time, this Zionist media quoted a senior source of the occupation army as claiming that in 2023 381 weapons were seized in the West Bank, including 153 weapons imported from the border with Jordan.

The said source claimed that in the first half of 2024, about 200 weapons were imported from Jordan to the West Bank and discovered. And it was recorded and it was found that these weapons are smuggled from the border of Jordan.

The aforementioned Hebrew media emphasized that contrary to the claims of some parties, the source of these weapons is not Iran; Rather, they are Zionist and Palestinian gangs, and especially Zionist gangs do this because of the high financial profit of these smuggling operations.

According to local sources, the occupying forces conducted extensive operations in the West Bank on July 10 and sold shops They targeted fertilizers and agricultural materials and arrested a number of their owners on the pretext of using these materials and fertilizers to make explosive devices.
