Long before Hamas militants burst out of their Gaza stronghold to massacre scores of civilians with handguns and assault rifles, Iran and its allies had accelerated efforts to smuggle weapons into a different part of the Palestinian territories, the West Bank.
Using drones, secret airline flights and a land bridge that traverses hundreds of miles and at least four national borders, the smuggling operation is raising the specter of a new conflagration in the war between Israel and Palestinians. It also poses a growing threat to Jordan, a staunch U.S. ally which borders Israel and the West Bank and has been struggling to contain a growing flow of drugs and arms.
“Iran wants to turn Jordan into a transit area for weapons going into Israel,” said Amer Al-Sabaileh, founder of Security Languages, a counterterrorism think tank in Amman. “But my fear is that the weapons might be used in Jordan as well. Where is the easiest place in the Middle East to punish the U.S. and the West? Jordan,” he said.

Must be handled carefully by the international community.
@9GH27S4Libertarian7mos7MO
Hamas is a terrorist organization. Israel suffered a terrorist attack. Israel has the right to fight back and defend their homeland.
@9GH4MBZ7mos7MO
We should be aware of this fact.
@9GH42Z8Women’s Equality7mos7MO
Its terrible how much they use weapons and how theyre making locals fear for a new war front with Israel.
War is ugly and brutal, and weaponry is killing the planet.
@9GH52TY7mos7MO
I think its important to understand conflicts with forgin countries.

Seeing lots of American-made rifles in photos from Gaza.
Something happened around August 2021 that may have precipitated this.
@UnstoppableFerretDemocrat7mos7MO
Does Biden know that the Palestinians are armed with dangerous assault rifles? Don’t they know those aren’t supposed to be in civilian hands? Good thing they didn’t get them from Afghanistan or Ukraine!
@XemplaryThrusheDemocrat7mos7MO
US manufacturers war profiteering? Who'd ever guess
@9GH47MV7mos7MO
why are they letting this happen
@9GH3XPF7mos7MO
palestinians deserve to be freed and have the right to fight back to their oppressors
@9GH2MTS7mos7MO
Its scary but we must do what is right to evade war or stop it
@9GHBRHRPeace and Freedom7mos7MO
Because in the war of Israel they are killing thousands of people and it should stop
@ResolvedRiceRepublican7mos7MO
Israel has been on the receiving end of rocket attacks and suicide bombings which have also resulted in the loss of civilian lives.
In the Second Intifada, which took place from 2000 to 2005, over a thousand Israeli citizens were killed. This does not justify any side's actions but it's important to look at the broader picture and understand the complexities of the situation. It's not just about one side inflicting harm on the other, it's a cycle of violence that has been perpetuated for generations.

Too many weapons could end up in the wrong hands if there is a surplus and most likely not being tracked very well.
@SmeltTaylor7mos7MO
In every Middle EAst War the US brings in millions of dollars of weapons then abandons them when it is over.
(Iraq + Afghanistan)
@9GH4B3CRepublican7mos7MO
Israel is wrong and kicked them out of their land a long time ago.
@9GGXR9PRepublican7mos7MO
Hamas is not a terrorist organizatgion. They have the right to push back on there occupational forces. mmm
@9GH84L27mos7MO
A war with another country is most noteable.
@9GHD9K27mos7MO
China ignoring sanctions on Russia and forming a trade agreement while we aid Ukraine and Israel will lead to a global War in this century.
@9GGZBQFRepublican7mos7MO
We should help out Israel like we did Ukraine
