Palestinian domestic weapons production
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Over the course of the Al-Aqsa Intifada the various pro-Palestinian organizations have built a homemade weapons industry to fight the IDF and launch rocket attacks within Israel's borders. The majority of the effort has been in the production of unguided artillery rockets, though HAMAS has built its' own versions of anti-tank missiles and RPGs. Though usually smuggled through the border of Egypt and the Gaza Strip or to a lesser extent Jordan to the West Bank, various small arms are believed to be domestically produced within the Palestinian territories.
