The report said Iran succeeded in smuggling 1,000 mortar shells and hundreds of short-range rockets into the Gaza Strip over the course of the year. The security agency also warned that the Sinai Desert was turning into Hamas's "backyard" for operations and storage of arms.

According to missile expert Uzi Rubin, the majority of Hamas' rocket stockpile is unguided short-range Qassam rockets, which cost between 300 and 800 dollars to manufacture and have an estimated range of approximately 10 km.
