    If true, dope. Seems like the kind of thing they’d make up to throw in another Official Enemy™ though. Were Al Qaeda, Cuba, and Venezuela also supplying them with weapons?

        The DPRK gave a bunch of weapons to China, who gave a bunch of weapons to Iran, who gave a bunch of weapons to Hezbollah, who gave a bunch of weapons to Hamas, so by the transitive property, the DPRK gave a bunch of weapons to Hamas.

      Weren't DPRK-made RPG warheads seen in action a couple weeks ago? I'm not sure what the chain of custody is like, but I wasn't previously aware that their weapons were in circulation like old Soviet or Chinese stock
