Hamas fighters likely fired North Korean weapons during their Oct. 7 assault on Israel, a militant video and weapons seized by Israel show, despite Pyongyang’s denials that it arms the militant group.

South Korean officials, two experts on North Korean arms and an Associated Press analysis of weapons captured on the battlefield by Israel point toward Hamas using Pyongyang’s F-7 rocket-propelled grenade, a shoulder-fired weapon that fighters typically use against armored vehicles.

    I heard this theory before and it makes the most sense. It’s a win, win, win for them. U.S. support gets split. Isreal’s support of Ukraine dries up. The EU also gets distracted. The Middle East gets destabilized which can give Russia more business with their mercenaries. I really don’t see any way in which this war is bad for Russia.
