Palestinian domestic weapons production
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even before the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, various militant Palestinian groups have built domestically produced weapons for use against the Israel Defense Forces and rockets to launch into Israel. Most of the effort has been in the production of unguided artillery rockets, though Hamas has built its own versions of anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). Though usually smuggled across the Egyptian border into the Gaza Strip and to a lesser extent Jordanian border into the West Bank, various small arms are believed to be produced in the Palestinian territories.
