Hamas fights with a patchwork of weapons built by Iran, China, Russia and North Korea

Iranian sniper rifles. AK-47s from China and Russia. North Korean-built rocket-propelled grenades. Anti-tank rockets secretly cobbled together in Gaza An Associated Press analysis of more than 150 videos and photos taken in the three months of combat since Hamas launched its Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel shows the militant group has amassed a patchwork arsenal from around the world – much of it smuggled past a 17-year blockade aimed at stopping just such a buildup. Hamas declined to discuss who has been providing its weapons or how they were snuck into Gaza but acknowledged it has scoured the globe for the means to fight Israel.
