Caveat lector. Consider the source and take this story with a huge grain of salt. From Ya Libnan:
Beirut- Hamas possesses a “new weapon” to face Israeli armor in case Israel decides upon a ground invasion into the Gaza Strip, a senior Iranian official and ranking cleric told worshipers in Tehran today.
According to former Iranian president Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, chairman of Iran’s powerful Expediency Council, the advanced weapon would allow the Palestinian militant group to target Israeli tanks “from a long distance.”
Rafsanjani’s statement is highly provocative, in tune with a heated Iranian campaign of rhetoric against Israel’s Gaza offensive.
It also suggests that Hamas may have stored up the same advanced, portable high-tech anti-tank weapons Hezbollah in Lebanon used to disable Israel’s Merkava tanks during the 2006 war between the Shiite militant group and the Jewish State.
It’s pretty obvious that Israel had and probably still has ground oberservers in Gaza. If so, it’s likely that if Hamas has this weapon, Israel already knows about and has likely already destroyed many of them.
