    This Medium article is poorly sourced.

    The NYT article is from 2021.

    The oft-repeated idea that Iran supplies the majority of Hamas weapons is also poorly sourced. It is usually attributed to the CIA’s World Factbook or former US generals who now are talking heads for think tanks. These sources are highly biased.

    But one thing that has been well documented is the Hamas unexploded ordinance team. They have over a decade of experience disarming and retrieving Israeli bombs from Gazan homes and businesses.

      “That’s poorly sourced, and that’s poorly, sourced, but here is an idea I’m not going to provide a source for” is not a great move.
