This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.

It’s almost like someone is funding this conflict.

Well, Israel is fighting with top-grade US weapons in Gaza, says everyone. So what?
News that doesn’t make you feel outraged isn’t newsworthy?
With your history? Seriously?

Did you miss a step maybe? Just maybe? Anyway speaking about class: I didn’t insult you.
Did you miss the part where I told you to shove it because you think post history is a valid argument that means anything?
Speaking of class: I didn’t have to resort to crying to a mod on you.
Go. Touch. Grass.
Sure. All good at home? Everything fine?
“Just putting it out there”. shoots civilians.
Any chance we could send them since American weapons?
Raytheon, lockheed Martin, boeing, general dynamics and northrup grumman are not opposed to this suggestion.
If those contractors could supply both sides they would in a heartbeat

“They’re close to almost making this seem like something that would resemble a fair fight if you squint in the dark and you had cataracts. It’s unconscionable!”
The people trying to kill you getting better weapons should indeed be alarming and it has nothing to do with “fairness.”
Yeah, this is coming from the IDF so it’s most likely a lie, but it seems reasonable that Hamas would be concerned about foreign countries pumping arms into Israel to commit genocide and seeking weapons of their own to defend themselves.
Self-defense is not genocide, nor is high collateral damage. That’s a very specific claim regarding intent, one that has not been established regarding Israel. Hamas, however, is explicitly genocidal. Palestinian forces committed genocide against Jews when Jordan took over Jerusalem in the 40s. If you oppose the genocidal, you should stand with Israel.
But yeah, it’s unsurprising that they want weapons, whether for defense or offense.
How about the terrorists that are the origin of the current ruling party in Israel who murdered entire camps of bedouins and entire villages? Feels like standing with Israel is pretty genocidal when they’ve been at this Zionist crap since before the Nazis.
Maybe for once we CAN say BOTH sides are awful and actually mean it! Almost like the problem is religious fundamentalism at its core.
How about we just fire bomb every “Holy City” in the world and throw it all out?
Israel gets their top grade weapons from the only other country based entirely on theft.
The outrage! (Nobady mention the arms bought from the US).
Good to see China didn’t entirely abandon Palestine. Their foreign policy in this conflict has been a disgrace.
Why do they care what Hamas is armed with when they’re primarily killing civilians?
Tell me, is this huge stockpile underneath Al Shifa hospital? No? Not in their ‘secret headquarters’? All you found was a half dozen rusty aks, some grenades and a random assortment of ammunition? Being guarded by our good Hamas friends Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
