The 9K111 Fagot is documented in the 2023 Israel-Hamas War through two distinct source-backed appearances in Khan Yunis. On February 8, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces reported that Commando Brigade forces, acting on intelligence, raided militant infrastructure and found weapons, mortars, underground-combat equipment, long-range missiles, RPG missiles, and a 9K111 Fagot missile during operations against Hamas in western Khan Yunis.
On June 23, 2025, Al Jazeera Mubasher reported that Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, released footage from southern Gaza showing its fighters using Fagot and Malyutka weapons against an Israeli command-and-control position and a special-forces unit sheltering in a house near Street 5 in northern Khan Yunis. The report described the weapons as anti-vehicle and anti-fortification systems and attributed the operation to Al-Quds Brigades in cooperation with the Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades.

Timeline
The first documented wartime appearance in the catalog is the February 2024 IDF report of a Fagot missile found with other missiles and underground-combat equipment in Khan Yunis. That report supports the presence of Fagot materiel in Hamas-linked infrastructure but does not by itself document a launch.
The later June 2025 Al Jazeera Mubasher report provides a claimed firing context, tying Fagot and Malyutka weapons to an Al-Quds Brigades attack in northern Khan Yunis. The source describes the release of footage and the claimed target set, while the page treats the unit attribution and effect as claims reported by that source.

Narrative
The documented Gaza use fits the Fagot's broader role as a portable anti-tank guided missile system in irregular and urban fighting. In this conflict record, the sources do not establish a transfer route, inventory size, or sustained pattern of Fagot employment by Gaza-based armed groups. They do support a narrower conclusion: at least one 9K111 Fagot missile was found in militant infrastructure during Israeli operations in Khan Yunis, and Al-Quds Brigades later claimed to have used Fagot and Malyutka weapons in a Khan Yunis attack.
The catalog therefore maps the weapon to Hamas and Gaza-based armed groups for this conflict, with the strongest supported roles being captured or recovered battlefield materiel and irregular fire support. The June 2025 report names Al-Quds Brigades rather than Hamas as the claimed firing force, but the conflict's catalog side groups Hamas and other Gaza-based armed organizations together.
