US Weapons Left Behind in Afghanistan May Have Been Among Deadly Tools Hamas Used on Civilians
If freeing up $6 billion of Iranian money, making it easier for them to divert other funds to terrorist organizations, wasn’t enough, it appears the Biden administration’s disastrous foreign policy decisions may be supplementing ammunition to terrorists like Hamas as well.
According to Newsweek, a high-ranking official in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expressed Israel’s concerns to the outlet about weapons from the U.S. and other Western nations provided to Ukraine ending up in the hands of Israel’s enemies, particularly the Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system.
Even more shameful, The Israeli commander told Newsweek that U.S. small arms seized in Afghanistan have been observed being used by Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip.
In January, NBC reported that weapons left behind in Afghanistan during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from the nation have been used to arm militants in Kashmir, India, in what NBC said experts call “just the start of the weapons’ global journey.”
Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir told NBC that militants trying to annex Kashmir for Pakistan had never had access to M4s, M16s, and other U.S.-made arms and ammunition until the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The U.S. left approximately 7 billion worth of equipment and ammunition in Afghanistan, including “aircraft, air-to-ground munitions, military vehicles, weapons, communications equipment and other materials,” according to a report by CNN.
According to the report, nearly 42000 night vision, surveillance, “biometric and positioning equipment” were also left behind.
Additionally, 17,500 “pieces of explosive detection, electronic countermeasure, disposal and personal protective equipment,” also now have the potential of falling into the hands of Islamic militants, including Hamas.
What did the Biden administration think would happen when they left $7 billion in ammunition as a gift to Islamic terrorists?

Concerns Over Weapons from Ukraine
Concerning weapons from the Ukraine war, the Israeli commander who spoke to Newsweek pointed out two distinct motivations driving the diversion of captured U.S. weapons supplied to Ukraine. On one side, pro-Russian formations are inclined to transfer these weapons due to the close defense ties between Moscow and Tehran. The concern here is that these weapons may enhance Iran’s military capabilities, leveraging their existing alliance with Russia.
On the other side, pro-Ukrainian elements view arms smuggling as a lucrative opportunity.
The identified route of transfer, primarily through the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, amplifies Israel’s concerns.
The heightened risk of these weapons falling into the hands of hostile groups like Hezbollah and Hamas poses a serious threat to Israel’s security interests.
It’s possible Hamas was sold weapons from Ukraine as well, not just Afghanistan.
And the US political class is now calling for military support of Israel as a result.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia believes Israel should track serial numbers to give us an idea of how many U.S. weapons, if any, are used against Israel by Hamas.
Greene posted, “We need to work with Israel to track serial numbers on any U.S. weapons used by Hamas against Israel. Did they come from Afghanistan? Did they come from Ukraine? Highly likely the answer is both.”

The Implications of Biden’s Incompetence
It will take years to see and understand the implications of the Biden administration’s incompetence and malfeasance in its handling of Ukraine and Afghanistan if the media ever gives us the full picture. We have not even begun to scratch the surface.
The entire world will be paying for a very long time for the election of Joe Biden.
When will he be held accountable?
The post US Weapons Left Behind in Afghanistan May Have Been Among Deadly Tools Hamas Used on Civilians appeared first on The Western Journal.
How are US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan spreading to other regions, such as Indian-controlled Kashmir, and what are the implications of this for global security?
Title: US Weapons Left Behind in Afghanistan May Have Been Among Deadly Tools Hamas Used on Civilians
Introduction
The recent events in Afghanistan have brought to light the dire consequences of the Biden administration’s disastrous foreign policy decisions. Not only did the hasty withdrawal put innocent Afghan civilians and allies at risk, but it also inadvertently provided ammunition and weapons to terrorist organizations such as Hamas. This article explores the alarming possibility that US weapons left behind in Afghanistan may have been used by Hamas in their attacks on civilians.
The Concerns of Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
According to a report by Newsweek, a high-ranking official in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expressed concerns about weapons, including the Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system, provided by the US and other Western nations to Ukraine. There are worries that these weapons may end up in the hands of Israel’s enemies, notably Hamas. More alarmingly, it has been observed that US small arms seized in Afghanistan have been used by Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip.
Spread of US Weapons to Other Regions
NBC reported in January that weapons abandoned in Afghanistan after the US withdrawal were being used to arm militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir. The experts interviewed by NBC stated that this distribution of weapons was only the beginning of a dangerous global journey for these arms. The militants seeking to annex Kashmir for Pakistan had never before had access to US-made arms and ammunition until the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Abandoned US Equipment in Afghanistan
According to a CNN report, the US left behind approximately $7 billion worth of equipment and ammunition in Afghanistan. This included aircraft, military vehicles, weapons, communication equipment, and other materials. Shockingly, this also included 42,000 night vision and surveillance equipment, along with explosive detection and personal protective equipment. All these items now have the potential to fall into the hands of Islamic militants, including Hamas.
Consequences of Negligence
The question that arises is what the Biden administration anticipated would happen when billions of dollars’ worth of ammunition and equipment were left behind as a gift to Islamic terrorists. The images circulated on social media, showing Taliban fighters posing with US weapons they had easily captured, expose the dire consequences of this negligence.
Conclusion
The situation in Afghanistan continues to highlight the grave repercussions of the Biden administration’s flawed foreign policy decisions. By leaving behind an immense arsenal of weapons and equipment, the US inadvertently provided terrorist organizations like Hamas with the tools to inflict harm upon innocent civilians. This serves as a stark reminder of the need for thorough and responsible planning when it comes to matters of national security and the fight against global terrorism.
