Hamas offers missiles for armies willing to fight Israel
2016-12-12
[Jpost] Paleostinian terror group Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", has offered to share its rocket arsenal with any Arab army willing to use them against Israel, Gazoo-based Hamas official Fathi Hammad said Sunday to al-Aqsa TV.

Discussions over hardware aside, in his attempt to develop a multi-front threat against Israel, it is unclear which Arab armies Hammad thinks may be tempted by the offer to become brothers in arms.
Hamas has been manufacturing rockets on an industrial scale since it took control of the Gazoo Strip, and has fired tens of thousands of projectiles during the past decade.

Former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon told a conference in late 2014 that the IDF destroyed 80% of Hamas’s mortars and rockets during Operation Protective Edge, however the group has been restocking ever since, in addition to digging new tunnels under the border with Israel.

Fairly primitive in design, the Qassam is propelled by a mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a widely-available fertilizer. The warhead is filled with smuggled or scavenged TNT and urea nitrate, another commonly-used fertilizer.
