Hamas has produced guided cruise missiles with the help of Iran
Israeli troops operating in Gaza City have uncovered technological equipment, including components used by Hamas to build precision rockets, which the terrorist group was not believed to possess until now.
It is reported by RBC-Ukraine regarding The Times of Israel.
Soldiers recently raided a Hamas facility near Gaza City's Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods and found a tunnel shaft leading to an underground weapons factory, IDF officials said.
"The soldiers found components that prove that the terrorists of the terrorist organization Hamas under the leadership of Iran have learned to work and create high-precision components and strategic weapons," the IDF said.
Hamas is known to have anti-tank guided missiles and small drones with explosives used at short ranges, as well as homemade autonomous submarines filled with explosives, or underwater drones, but not long-range guided missiles.
The terrorist group also has shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles that are ineffective against Israeli aircraft.
It is not known whether Hamas deployed its guided missiles or whether they were only under development.
