Hamas wants to cut an arms deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with North Korea, the New York Post reports.
Officials of the terror group are suspected of having already made a cash down-payment on hundreds of rockets and communications gear they hope to buy from the North Koreans, the Telegraph reported Sunday.
"Hamas is looking for ways to replenish its stocks of missiles because of the large numbers it has fired at Israel in recent weeks," a Western security official told the British newspaper.
"North Korea is an obvious place to seek supplies because Pyongyang already has close ties with a number of militant Islamist groups in the Middle East."
