Question for Israelis about Gaza?
I need this information on Gaza's armed strength for a project I have, it's easy to find estimates on Hezbollah in Lebanon but I'm finding it difficult for Gaza related militant groups. Do they share similar arsenals with the Hezbollah in Lebanon? Does anyone know any estimates and what kind of weapons? Please knowledgable Israelis only since my Israeli friend told some Israelis have better knowledgable and inside information on the arsenals of the Gaza.
Thank you for your time, please make it a little detailed enough for me yet also like a summary so it doesn't take too much effort and space.
All I could find is older estimates from 2009 that are not up to date.
Thanks for the answer 'Only', but I'm looking for info on Gaza and not Hezbollah.

"Do they share similar arsenals with the Hezbollah in Lebanon?"
Hamas learns from Hezbollah. The Kornet gave Israeli troops nightmares during the war in 2006. Not only did Hezbollah use these to stop Israeli armor, but they executed an effective tactic of shooting at support columns of buildings Israeli troops were occupying and crushing them under rubble. Hamas has since made it their objective to stock up on these and I've even read Israeli reports that the Iranians trained a number of Palestinians inside of Iran to become experts with them. These missiles were a deterrent in 2012 when Israel was contemplating a ground invasion. They've only been used a handful of times to date. The video below is a Kornet strike from 2012 that injured four Israeli troops:

There's also reports that Hamas has Strela anti-aircraft missiles from Qaddafi's stockpile in Libya.
Look into the M-175. It's a new rocket built inside Gaza that can reportedly hit Tel-Aviv (the Iranian Fajr-5 is the only other weapon in their arsenal with that range). Some Israelis close to the border heard loud booms a few months back and it's believed that Hamas was test firing them out to sea.
Hamas has many indigenous, short-range rockets. Too many to accurately estimate.

Hamas is the terrorist group that runs Gaza and fires rockets into Israel almost daily.
I dont think you will find information on their weaponry as they say they have none. ( which obviously is a lie). Just a couple of weeks ago Israel intercepted another shipload of weapons headed to Gaza from Iran.

Israel is doing a pretty good job of controlling everything imported onto Gaza
Every hole in the blockade is being used by Gaza to get everything they need or want.
Rocket science spans from glorified fireworks developed in ancient china to advanced programmed cruise missiles .
The Internet is full of information on how to make explosives and rockets and chemical agents from common materials.
The real strength of militancy in Gaza must be measured in the hatred and fear that is ingrained into the populace.
The jihad allows NO opposition to be expressed by their own people.
As soon as Gaza presents itself as a real threat to Israel
The will be destroyed.
For now they are beating their chests and patting themselves on the back because they can launch UNGUIDED rockets that they pray "allah" will send to murder the right people
But they usually hurt innocent people or land in an empty field.
Gaza is a hellhole of hate and it's people are prisoners of Islamic hate.
The best lesson to be learned from the mistake of allowing the regime of Gaza to be created
Is
To never let something like that to exist in the west bank.
