Made from raw material and equipment smuggled into the [[Gaza Strip]] using tunnels in [[Rafah]], the al-Bana was the first example, during the [[Al-Aqsa Intifada]], of Hamas&#039; engineers capacity to produce relatively sophisticated weapons. It was to launch [[Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel]].<br /> <br /> The shoulder-fired al-Bana was extensively used during [[Israeli Defense Forces]] incursions to fight against tanks and armored vehicles. The al-Bana was replaced, in 2003, by the more elaborated [[Batar]] and is no longer used by Hamas. Slightly modified versions of the al-Bana were made and used by other Palestinian militant groups. In 2004, Hamas engineers provided the group with a new and sophisticated shoulder-fired rocket launcher, the [[Yasin_(RPG)|Yasin]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> *[[Palestinian domestic weapons production]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Anti-tank rockets of Palestine]]<br /> [[Category:Hamas]]<br /> [[Category:Palestinian inventions]]<br /> [[Category:Homemade firearms]]<br /> [[Category:Insurgency weapons]]</div>
