The terrorist official smuggled weapons from various countries around the world, bringing the ordnance to Gaza and to terrorists in the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria.

Atrash was also responsible for the trade, production and equipping of the Al-Qassam military wing of Hamas.
