Further blemishing the supposed benefits of having fled the Gaza Strip more than a year ago, IDF officials on Wednesday said they are now reasonably sure that Gaza-based Hamas forces are in possession of semi-advanced anti-tank missiles.

According to the officials, the terrorists have a small but growing stockpile of Russian-made "Sagger" missiles, a staple of Arab armies throughout the region.

While it is an older weapon, the Sagger is still very effective, even against modern armor. It's presence in Gaza will significantly complicate any furture need to launch an anti-terror military incursion into the area.

Arms prohibited by the Palestinian Authority's peace agreements with Israel have been flowing into Gaza ever since Israel handed over control of the Gaza-Sinai border to Egypt and the "Palestinians."
