Is North Korea supplying arms to Palestinian factions?
The Palestinian resistance factions are seeking to conclude weapons deals with Russia, North Korea and China through the black market, yet some say a recent display of weapons was merely for propaganda purposes.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has revealed having in their possession the North Korean-made, shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles, other offensive missiles and the Malyutka anti-tank missile.
The announcement came during the Bond of Blood rally, during which Islamic Jihad displayed the various new weapons in Rafah, in the southern Gaza strip, on July 28, without disclosing the quantities that they currently have in their possession.
