How is the DPRK smuggling this shit in? What is that supply line even supposed to look like?
Back in 2010, a bunch of Turkish activists tried to send a flotilla to Gaza. They were intercepted and attacked by Israeli forces. That was before the renewed Israeli conflict with Lebanon and the US bombing of Syria, and when the southern border with Egypt wasn’t sealed shut. You can’t just move in and out of Gaza unmolested. No more than you could take a sailboat to Cuba.
How the fuck is the DPRK getting hundreds of rounds of munitions into a country that struggles to keep itself fed? This seems like a huge stretch to simply take at face value.
Russia ships to domestic and regional arms dealers
Arms dealers smuggle their weapons into Palestine
Turkey, Syria, and Egypt are all next to Israel. There are people there who have sympathies with Palestine but not Russia/NK, or with both Palestine and Russia/NK, or with none of them and want a paycheck. The underworld is full of strange bedfellows. The CIA and MI5/6 were once filled with communists.
There are also reports that some IDF units have been smuggling weapons to Hamas as well. If you’re lucky to turn a border guard or someone else critical to the supply chain, you can pass through undetected.
Dude DPRK has been involved in materially supporting Palestine for decades. You are not adequately informed here to speak so confidently

DPRK: We are materially supporting Palestinian resistance
Hamas: We receive material support from DPRK
Palestinian Protesters: Holding up signs of KJU and Putin
Western Media: North Korea is arming Hamas
You: But HOW COULD IT BE??!
you could explain how international arms smuggling works and be a snarky shit at the same time
How am I supposed to know about international arm smuggling routes? This user doesn’t either. All parties involved agree it’s happening
