The Al-Yassin 105 (Arabic: الياسين 105) is a rocket-propelled grenade developed by Hamas. It 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 Gaza war.[2]
