    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?

      Yeah, likely just more "Axis of Evil™️" bullshit. Hamas has much easier and more accessible places to get weapons from, and I wouldn't take South Korea's word for something like this

        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.
