Based on those Wikileaks cables Saudi wants to see a lot of these terrorist groups in the region gone and Iran dealt with, so they might talk a lot but not do anything.
North Korean's cruise missiles are decades obsolete. Their best indigenous cruise missile is the KN-01, but it just a turbojet powered silkworm with a range of only 100 km. Some PRC missiles they might be armed with (like the HY-2) have a range of 200 km, but those are still just silkworms with better engines. If your a middle east group like Hamas want cruise missiles you got to deal with Iran, which is building copies of Chinese missiles (except for the Ra'ad which is a North Korean type super silkworm).
My friends and I were just discussing this in how Iran's semi-submersibles came from North Korea armed with 324mm torpedoes instead of a light ASM like the C-701. Simply North Korea has no SSMs smaller than a Silkworm (which is huge for a ASM).

North Korea can simply put a small nuclear warhead in a gun round and fire it a far as possible towards the south.
