The article covers Palestinian groups that built their own rockets, anti-tank missiles and RPGs for use against Israel. Through October 2023 the opening called the groups building these weapons various militant Palestinian groups. Today the opening calls them insurgent Palestinian, or Palestinian resistance, groups, and the word militant survives once in the body. A reader today gets the groups' preferred self-description, resistance, in place of Wikipedia's earlier plainer term.

The opening as it read in 2010
Even before the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada , various militant Palestinian groups built domestically produced weapons for use against the Israel Defense Forces , including rockets to launch into Israel .1 Most of the effort has been in the production of unguided artillery rockets, though Hamas has built its own versions of anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). Though usually smuggled across the Egyptian border into the Gaza Strip and to a lesser extent Jordanian border into the West Bank , various small arms are believed to be produced in the Palestinian territories . On 14 August 2008 the Popular Resistance Committee showed off the Nasser-4 missile, an upgraded version of the existing Nasser-3 . Ha'aretz 15 August 2008 PRC: Our new rocket can reach as far as Ashdod
