The Al-Yassin 105 (Arabic: الياسين 105) is an anti-armor missile developed by Hamas. It is the first anti-armor missile developed by Hamas and was first deployed in 2023.[1] It was named after the spiritual leader of Hamas, Ahmed Yassin.
The shell is primarily used by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and was used for the first time in the Israel–Hamas war.[2]
History
Unveiled on October 29, 2023, the Yassin 105 was reportedly developed by Hamas engineers from the Research and Industry Unit.[3] It was first used against Israeli armor and Merkava tanks during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.[4] In June, 2024, it was used to target an Israeli armored vehicle. The vehicle was destroyed and 8 Israeli soldiers were killed.[5]
