Qasem Soleimani’s Role in Gaza Arms Shipments and Missile Development

Haj Qasem Soleimani. Haj Qasem Soleimani was an exceptional figure with an open mind, which is very rare.

At that time, we had ties with Muammar Gaddafi.

Although in recent years, he had faced political challenges and had been leaning toward America. I told Haj Qasem that we might be able to persuade Gaddafi to bring RPGs into the Gaza Strip.

Haj Qasem said, “May God help you. Go and do it.”

Thus, RPGs entered Gaza through Muammar Gaddafi.

Under those circumstances, Haj Qasem believed that it did not matter where the weapons came from, even if through the airwaves.

But what ultimately mattered was who would use these weapons.

Haj Qasem had an open mind, and his outlook was aligned with that of Martyr Ahmad Jibril.

They had much in common. Therefore, they agreed on the arrival of the first ship.

The second ship was brought in by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the third ship was seized. Then subsequent ships passed through ports in Iran. This broad outlook has transformed such historical figures.

Specific structures for changing history were possessed by all of them.

Martyr Hajj Qassem Soleimani played a very significant and influential role in creating a balance of terror between us and the Zionist enemy.

That was despite the fact that creating such a balance between the Palestinian resistance and the occupying regime that was founded in 1948 and is supported by the Great Satan and all European countries is not easy.

Hajj Qassem also suggested that we develop the missile system With Hamas, we coordinated with experts on the issue of missiles, how to build them, and guidance systems.

All of this was done with Hajj Qassem's knowledge and special This was a strategic and important matter for him We were in an area where northerly winds blew toward the northeast and north west. That is, if we launched balloons from southern Lebanon,

they could land in occupied Palestine, like what is happening now in the Gaza Strip.

We decided these balloons should be able to carry one kilogram, and eventually, we developed balloons capable of carrying three hundred and fifty kilograms. I tell you, the main effort in this matter was the determination of Hajj Qassem, the martyr Imad Mughniyeh, and the martyr Hassan Laqis, our brothers in Hezbollah.

It was through this joint effort that we achieved this joint undertaking.

Qassem Soleimani.
