So says Middle East News Online who cites an Israeli official making the claim.
JERUSALEM [MENL] — Israel has determined that the Hamas regime has been ordering weapons and military equipment from China. Israeli officials said the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip has sent agents to Beijing to negotiate weapons deals with state-owned Chinese companies. In 2008, they said, Chinese-origin extended-range rockets were acquired and sent to the Gaza Strip via Iran. ”We now believe that Hamas has been dealing directly with Chinese suppliers, rather than through Iran,” an official said.
