Evidence, including a militant video and seized weapons, suggests that Hamas fighters likely used North Korean weapons during their October 7 assault on Israel, despite North Korea’s denials of selling arms to the militant group. The video analysis and weapons inspection indicate the use of the F-7 rocket-propelled grenade, a shoulder-fired weapon, by Hamas. This sheds light on the illicit arms shipments that North Korea employs to fund its arms programs. The F-7 has been documented in various conflict zones, and experts note North Korea’s historical support for Palestinian militant groups. The evidence underscores the complexities of arms proliferation and illicit trade.
