The fighting between Hamas and Israel began on October 7 next year, and so far, the fighting between Hamas and Israel has lasted for more than four months, but there has never been a lack of news about Hamas.
Didn't Israel shut Gaza as a huge prison?
How can Hamas secure its arms**?
This article will provide an in-depth analysis of Hamas's arms in the encirclement.
Founded in Gaza in 1987, Hamas is surrounded by Egypt and Israel, but it is still able to smuggle large quantities of arms by land and sea.
Hamas has a variety of resources, and there are three pathways.
1. Provide assistance to Iran and Syria.
Iran has been one of the important advocates of Hamas.
Iran is said to supply Hamas with missiles, rocket launchers, personal and other military equipment through a very sophisticated underground trading network.
The arms were smuggled into Gaza via the Mediterranean.
In addition, Hamas has collaborated with Syrian military organizations in the aftermath of the Syrian civil war to obtain more arms.
Around 2020, Hamas received the Fajr-5 multiple rocket launcher from Iran, which has a range of 75 kilometers.
In addition, Iran created a modification of the Russian "Cornet" anti-tank gun.
In addition, Hamas procured several "Cornets" from Libya.
Secondly, there are many tunnels along the border between Egypt and Gaza.
A clandestine black market organization plays a key role in Hamas's arms supply.
Allegedly, the DPRK provided technical support,
North Korea is said to have provided technical support, and the entrance to the tunnel is usually concealed in a deep well, which leads to 10 to 10 meters above the ground. This passage is only 1 meter wide, 25 meters high, it can only be passed by a man with a gun. Such tunnels generally have a length of 1-3 km and have a large number of entrances and exits and branch lines. They are connected to other tunnels, as well as to the bunkers of the headquarters and the arsenal, to prevent Israeli air strikes against Hamas militants.
Due to its complex structure, most of it is reinforced concrete.
It's not easy to destroy those tunnels. To find the exit of the tunnel, it is necessary to have accurate information and conduct a meticulous search.
The Egyptians have been destroying underground passages after they dug them.
Because the tunnel not only provides a large amount of arms to Hamas in Gaza, but also provides Egyptian radicals with ** from Hamas.
Hamas accused Egypt of injecting poison gas into a border tunnel in 2010, killing four people.
About 2,500 Palestinians are involved in the illegal trafficking of goods to the Gaza Strip in about 2,500 tunnels from the Gaza Strip to Egypt's Sinai region, according to Russia**. Arms trafficking, on the other hand, passes through tunnels controlled by groups such as Hamas, often opening up a quick route for militants in Gaza to enter Egypt.
By February 2024, Egypt has stepped up its border fence to stop the entry of refugees and terrorists.
Thirdly, Hamas has some of its own arms.
In general, without the support of a major power like Iran, Hamas's military power would have been greatly weakened.
Hamas has fallen, but opposition in the Middle East to Israel will create a new Hamas to fight Israel.
