Hamas militants are attempting to negotiate a new arms deal with North Korea for missiles and communications equipment that will allow them to maintain their offensive against Israel, according to Western security sources. Security officials say the deal between Hamas and North Korea is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and is being handled by a Lebanese-based trading company with close ties to the militant Palestinian organisation based in east Beirut. Hamas officials are believed to have already made an initial cash down payment to secure the deal, and are now hoping that North Korea will soon begin shipping extra supplies of weapons to Gaza. “Hamas is looking for ways to replenish its stocks of missiles because of the large numbers it has fired at Israel in recent weeks,” explained a security official. “North Korea is an obvious place to seek supplies because Pyongyang already has close ties with a number of militant Islamist groups in the Middle East.” Using intermediaries based in Lebanon, Hamas officials are said to be intensifying their efforts to sign a new agreement with Pyongyang to provide hundreds of missiles together with communications equipment that will improve the ability of Hamas fighters to coordinate operations against Israeli forces.

Top Secret arms deal that the MSM reports eh?
China could not be reached for comment.
Not so secret if I heard about it on FR over a week ago. But I guess it means to the dimbulbs that get their news from the mainstream media.
How would they get the goods to Hamas ? money is no problem , Obama/Kerry gives them all they want
“How would they get the goods to Hamas ?”
Exactly, Israel controls the Ocean ports of entry. Supposedly Egypt hates Hamas as much as Israel and the tunnels into their country have been destroyed. (unless they haven’t)
The NORKs like those Yankee dollars...
Obama is probably offering to transport it for them.
He would probably personally transport it for them himself if he could.
They forgot to mention that YOUR $47 Million in tax dollars are paying for it.

Well, I missed the story on FR. I was just looking for info on where Hamas gets their weapons.
Hence their demand to end the blockade.
Sometimes 1 + 1 does in fact = 2.
The blockade isn’t about limiting revenue from palm fronds, it’s about Egyptians and Israelis being able to sleep in peace
Yes, Egyptians. They share the blockade. Even they recognize the threats from Hamas.
You’ll be glad to know Obama has Hamas’ best interests at hand by giving Hamas $47 million, no questions asked. That can buy a lot of rockets from N Korea.
