Hamas admits to having weapons factories in Gaza

[drdon326]

In the first admission of its kind, a senior Hamas official disclosed on Saturday that the movement has a number of factories in the Gaza Strip for manufacturing various types of weapons.

Nizar Rayyan, a Hamas leader from Jabalya refugee camp, said the factories were busy manufacturing different types of mortars and rockets to be used against Israel.

Although he is considered one of the prominent political leaders of Hamas, Rayyan was seen wearing military fatigues and armed with a rifle during the recent 17-day IDF operation against Kassam rocket squads in the northern Gaza Strip.

"Thank God, the weapons of the Hamas fighters are manufactured locally," Rayyan said. "For several years now we have had our own weapons factories and we are working round the clock to improve the fighting capabilities of our fighters. We first made hand grenades and rocket-propelled RPGs, mortar rockets and their launchers, and then Kassam and Yassin rockets."

In another development, Hamas gunmen on Saturday killed a Palestinian suspected of helping Israel in the assassination of the movement's Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

4. Hamas has been receiving weapons from Mossad lately

It's just the fact that they're flying through the air and armed at the time, that bothers them.

5. It might not be true

it might just be a vile rumour spread by anti-semite but I heard that Israel has a few weapons too??

6. What a waste

US arms manufacturers would be more than glad to sell them what they needed. They could hire more workers and improve our employment profile.
