Hamas has a large stockpile of Chinese weaponry in Gaza, including assault rifles, grenade launchers, and advanced communications equipment, according to the IDF, the Telegraph reports.
Israeli intelligence sources observed a significant upgrade in weaponry and technology acquired by Hamas, raising concerns about whether the Chinese supplies came directly from China or through a third party.
“This is top-grade weaponry and communications technology, stuff that Hamas didn’t have before, with very sophisticated explosives which have never been found before and especially on such a large scale,” an Israeli intelligence source told The Telegraph.
Weapons such as QBZ assault rifles and QLZ87 automatic grenade launchers were among the uncovered haul, signs of bolstered Hamas firepower.
The IDF warned that this arsenal is complemented by intelligence and communications equipment capable of operating within the complex tunnel system used by Hamas for surprise attacks on Israeli troops.
Experts suggest that if the Chinese-made equipment reached Hamas in large quantities, it is likely via a state actor, with Iran being a probable candidate.
