Hamas denies Israeli reports of smuggling Sagger missiles into Gaza

The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Thursday denied Israeli reports that it had obtained Soviet-made anti-tank missiles in Gaza. The denial came in response to a report by the Israeli Ha'aretz daily that Hamas militants smuggled Sagger missiles into Gaza from Egypt.

But Abu Obaida, spokesman for Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, insisted that the Palestinian resistance have the right to get such missiles and more advanced rockets.
It's a Legitimate Right™...
He said that the brigades has been developing homemade weapons to fight against "the Zionist enemy which always announces intentions to launch wide aggression against the Gaza Strip." He said that Hamas militants have made progress in this regard, terming the progress as "a tangible development in Palestinian resistance."

Israel and the Palestinians agreed on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip last November. Hamas committed itself to the deal and stopped rocket attacks against southern Israel.

#2 An Israeli Defense Minister that has the keen ability to look at things from a distance, using binoculars with the cap, still on, has to be credible in anyones eyes.

#5 The latest versions of the SAGGER is ineffective against ultra-modern Western MBT's save causing their crews to psychologically check under their seats. Still useful [multi-hit]against Infantry- + other Infantry-Combat Support carriers. IMO, intended for Civilian Terror; or as per LEBANON SUMMER 2006 to attack = kill Israeli soldiers riding on Armor, notsomuch to knock out Armor per se - IOW, PYWAR.
