Representatives of various proxies visit Iran for training at Iranian aluminum powder production facilities. Aluminum powder is used as a heat amplifier in rocket propellants and thermobaric explosives. Iran’s efforts include teaching PIJ how to produce aluminum powder independently. The PIJ’s Gaza Strip project leader is Imad Alajez.

In recent years, representatives of various proxies have visited Iran for training in AP production. AP is used to produce solid propellant for rockets and missiles. In 2018, three PIJ operatives visited Iran for training. They were Abu Ali, Abu Ahmed, and Abu Hudhayfah.

Iran helped PIJ to establish an AP production plant, called ‘the Farm’ in Syria. The site was so secret that it was concealed even from the Syrian regime.
