South Korea's spy agency confirmed Monday that Palestinian militant group Hamas has been using North Korean-made weapons in its conflict with Israel, amid a report of new photos showing weapons etched with Korean characters retrieved in the conflict.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) made the confirmation in response to VOA's Korean Service report published Friday showing new photos of North Korean F-7 rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) with Korean letters inscribed on them used by Hamas, South Korean Yonhap News Agency reported Monday.
