Hamas ‘using massive stockpile of Chinese weaponry’ in Gaza
The (U.K.) Telegraph ^ | 1/5/24 | Melanie Swan

Posted on 01/07/2024 12:46:05 PM PST by Uncle Miltie

IDF uncovers items such as assault rifles, grenade launchers, and telescopic sights for rifles and cartridges for M16s

Chinese weaponry including assault rifles and grenade launchers is being used by Hamas to wage war in Gaza, Israeli investigations have revealed.

Stockpiles of hi-tech supplies uncovered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) contained telescopic sights for rifles and cartridges for M16s as well as an array of communications equipment such as listening devices and tactical military radios.

Israeli investigators are now working to determine how the equipment made it into Hamas’s hands amid concerns Beijing may have been directly involved.

“This has come as a big surprise as before the war, relations were very good, but we have found massive amounts of Chinese weaponry and the question is, did it come directly from China to Hamas or not?” an Israeli intelligence source told The Telegraph.

“This is top-grade weaponry and communications technology, stuff that Hamas didn’t have before, with very sophisticated explosives which have never been found before and especially on such a large scale.”

QBZ assault rifles and QLZ87 automatic grenade launchers were among the haul uncovered by the IDF.

Through Russia, to Iran or directly to Iran.

Telescopic sights and cartridges are not particularly high tech. However, listening devices, and tactical radios may well be.

Let's connect the dots. Biden surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban, and Bagram airbase to China with massive stockpiles of armaments, vehicles, electronics, etc..

Hmmmm.. Perhaps China sent some of this stuff to Hamas?

And I would not at all be surprised if Team Obama-Biden was involved with the Hamas attack on Israel and OUTRIGHT APPEASING IRAN WITH BILLION$ GIVEN TO THEM IN ADVANCE OF OCT. 7TH BY TEAM OBAMA-BIDEN.

Amazing what shows up when you run away from $85 billion in arms.

Millions of American jobs were lost over the years to places like China.

Chinese can use slave labor and dissident forced labor to keep costs down and provide the weapons our enemies need to use against us and our allies. They also violate all climate change rules including coal fired plants and heavy pollution violations. Plus child labor.

“The 2023 Global Slavery Index (GSI) estimates that 5.8 million people were living in modern slavery in China on any given day in 2021. This equates to four in every thousand people in the country, which places China at 19 out of 27 countries in the region.” WalkFree.com

Excerpt:”....subject workers to constant surveillance, retribution for religious beliefs, exclusion from community and social life, and isolation. Further, reports indicate little pay, mandatory Mandarin lessons, ideological indoctrination, and poor living conditions. In some instances, workers have been reported to be subject to torture.”

Democrat voters should hear this. They hate America for not working to end climate change.

I don’t doubt this at all, but these were certainly brought into Gaza by the blessings of many traitors in Israeli government. Gaza Strip is a fenced in area that is around 25 miles long and 7 miles wide. It only has a few controlled entrances.

Like USA, the foreign enemies will not stop causing harm until the corrupt ones in office are removed.

Israel needs to secure those cartridges. Maybe they could have American civilians store them safely away. We’ll even do it for free.

It is well established that there are lots of terror snuggling tunnels into Gaza from Egypt, and that that is the route for most Gaza weaponry.

One needn’t accuse Jews to account for Chinese weapons in Gaza.

Well, they probably snuggle with and smuggle for the terrorists in those tunnels.

Israel has employed various methods and technologies to detect tunnel digging in the Gaza Strip. Some of these methods include:

1. Ground Sensors: Israel has deployed ground sensors along the border with Gaza that can detect vibrations and movement associated with tunnel digging.

2. Seismic Sensors: Seismic sensors are used to detect ground vibrations caused by tunnel construction activities.

3. Tunnel Detection Technologies: Israel has developed and deployed advanced tunnel detection technologies that can identify tunnel construction based on changes in the soil and geological conditions.

4. Aerial Surveillance: Israel uses drones and aerial surveillance to monitor and detect suspicious activities along the border, including tunnel construction.

5. Satellite Imagery: Satellite imagery can be used to identify changes in the landscape that may indicate tunnel construction.

6. Acoustic Sensors: Acoustic sensors can pick up sounds associated with tunnel construction activities, such as drilling or digging.

7. Geophysical Surveys: Israel conducts geophysical surveys to map underground structures and detect anomalies that may indicate the presence of tunnels.

8. Border Barrier: The construction of an underground barrier along the Gaza border has been a major effort to prevent tunnel infiltration.

9. Intelligence and Informants: Israel relies on human intelligence and informants to gather information about tunnel construction activities.

10. Patrols and Border Security: Regular patrols and border security measures are essential in identifying and intercepting individuals involved in tunnel construction.

There have been videos by various IDF agents stating that if a bird lands on the fence they are aware of it. If I go for digs a tunnel underneath the fence, there’s really government will be immediately aware of it.

The US state department has several times intervened to prevent Israel from selling advanced systems to the Chinese.

Another aspect of the Chinese is that China is divided into military districts. The Red General in charge of each district “owns” the defense plants and bases in his district. He also owns the people in his district which is the legal basis for selling people’s organs. If he wants to sell advanced technology, then he does so. The main Chinese government has no say in what the general does with his assets. While other governments can make a treaty to not sell this or that technology, China can’t. The reason Xi did not immediately release the crew of the American surveillance plane that was damaged by a crash with a Chinese fighter plane is because he had to make a deal with the general who was holding the patrol plane and its crew. The general probably got money, or a new plant, or a production contract in exchange for letting the crew go. In many aspects China resembles the older state where warlords controlled vast territories. It’s only recently that Xi has been able to fire generals, indicating he is coalescing power around himself. Also, Xi has placed Pakistanis in positions of power and authority as he trusts them, as hired mercenaries, far more than native Chinese. Iran uses foreign nationals in its police who in some cases don’t even speak farci, for the same reason. Muammar Gaddafi also used foreign mercenaries in his protective detail for reasons similar to Xi. They just do the job rather than participate in politics.

IDF found several munitions factories in the tunnels - the facilities were cranking out weapons as the war went on, nut so much heat was generated that the had huge fan systems installed.

The IDF only found them intact because for some reason Hamas abandoned them - likely because of the noise generated by the fans. Now the IDF is using Acoustic Sensors to detect Hamas arms facilities in operation.

That was before Xi. Now they are purged, shot as traitors, or imprisoned as criminals. No one is above the Party now. And nothing is above Xi “Mao” Jinping.

I hope the Red Generals don’t control the nukes.

To play devil’s advocate, it is not indicative of Chinese support that all this stuff they are finding is made in China. It’s where you’d go if you don’t care about quality and wanted to get the most stuff (quantitatively) for the money you were sending in foreign aid. Or if you are a terrorist group not getting outside hardware aid but had lots of money. China will sell crap to anyone.
