Hamas Opens Weapons Exhibit for Palestinian Public
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)
