Hamas video shows operatives readying weaponry: ‘Preparations continue’

The Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, releases a short propaganda video showing one of its operatives putting the finishing touches on weapons before their distribution.
In the clip, a man is filmed as he applies a coat of paint to dozens of 105mm Chinese HEAT projectiles along with labels reading in Arabic “guerrilla action device,” a name given by Hamas to a type of improvised anti-tank weapon.
The operative is then seen placing some of the devices inside black bags for transport. In the background plays an Al Jazeera clip of an ambush conducted by Hamas two weeks ago, according to Palestinian media reports. At the end of the video, the phrase “Our preparations continue” appears on the screen in Arabic.
