Hamas
Hamas is a Palestinian militant organization and political party that governs the Gaza Strip. It was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada and has since been involved in various conflicts with Israel. The group is known for its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and its social services, which have garnered support among Palestinians. Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States and the European Union, due to its use of violence and attacks against Israeli civilians. The organization has been at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly following the outbreak of violence in October 2023, which resulted in significant casualties and escalated tensions in the region.
