@mdubowitz: "After trying for years to mount elaborate and large-scale arms shipments to Gaza, only to see them mostly interdicted by Israel, the Iranians clearly decided to create an elite group of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad armorers with enough portable knowledge to keep an insurgency going under siege. These in-person courses are identical to what the IRGC has been providing Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and its proxies in Iraq and Syria. The benefit, beyond honing the attack capabilities of regional proxies, is to have them all on the same page in terms of combat doctrines and weaponry."
