The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said it had introduced a new weapon to its mostly home-made weapon arsenal in the Jenin area.
In a video, the engineering unit of the Al-Qassam Brigades showed photos of an improvised explosive device it said it used to detonate an Israeli military vehicle during the recent operation in the Jenin refugee camp.
The name of the new anti-armer explosive device, according to Al-Qassam is “Shawath-1”.
The Brigades also said that they continue to work to produce the largest number of improvised explosive devices and develop new models of them.
يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُمَا شُوَاظٌ مِنْ نَارٍ
بعون الله تعالى تعلن كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام في جنين
عن إدخال عبوة شواظ (1) الخارقة للدروع إلى الخدمة.وإنه لجهاد نصر أو استشهاد
