According to Israel's N12 channel, the IDF seized a large number of Chinese weapons used by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The types and quantities of these weapons are a cause for widespread concern.
It is understood that the seized Chinese weapons include pistols, submachine guns, rifles, and even heavy weapons such as bazookas and explosives. The origin and use of these weapons is also highly debated. Some analysts believe that these weapons may have been smuggled out of Israel by Palestinian militants to support their military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Carice Witte, an expert on China-Israel relations, said that while there is certainly a possibility that Chinese weapons will fall into the hands of the Palestinians, he cannot buy them directly from Beijing. : "China has a huge arms industry. China does not sell weapons to non-state entities, it is supposed to be supplied by arms dealers or other countries.
The incident sparked strong condemnation from the international community. China calls on all parties to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East. At the same time, China stresses that all countries should respect international law and norms and refrain from taking actions that infringe upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries.
