Hamas has put its weapons on public display for the first time, drawing hundreds of Palestinians including children brandishing rocket launchers for selfies in Gaza City. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades invited Palestinians via social media and posters in mosques to "take souvenir photos with many of al-Qassam's weapons." The weapons on display on Friday included locally manufactured missiles, "Shihab" drones, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and Russian-made Kornet missiles. A young boy in fatigues and wearing a green Brigades headband smiled as a man propped a rocket launcher on his shoulder. The exhibition is "encouraging and means that the liberation of our land is near," said Shahadeh Dalou, who came with his children. (Times of Israel)
