Agents from Iran and Hezbollah, as well as buyers for al-Qa'ida, buy weapons from local mobsters and smugglers in Serbia, Slovakia, Montenegro, Croatia, and Kosovo and forward them to Hamas, according to the magazine.
The arms leave from Montenegrin and Croatian ports in the direction of Yemen and Sudan, enter Gaza via Egypt's Sinai and end up in Hamas storehouses. Since the Israeli army left the Gaza strip, its border with Egypt is guarded by Egyptian and Palestinian officers who do not check the cargo, according to the magazine.
The authors of the article cite well-informed military and intelligence sources, and claim that European security services have confirmed that Palestinian military groups are trying to get hold of as many weapons as possible left over from the 1990s wars in the Balkans.
