Hamas - 10 things to know with detail
Hamas is a Palestinian Islamic political organization and militant group that was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada against Israel.
Hamas's official name is Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya, which translates to Islamic Resistance Movement.
The group's founding charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state in historic Palestine.
Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, the European Union, and several other countries.
The group has a military wing known as the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which is responsible for carrying out attacks against Israel.
Hamas has been involved in numerous terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and kidnappings.
The group gained significant political power in the Palestinian territories after winning the 2006 parliamentary elections.
Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 after a violent conflict with rival Palestinian faction Fatah.
The group has been heavily criticized for its human rights abuses, including the use of civilians as human shields and the oppression of political dissent.
Despite its militant activities, Hamas also operates social service programs in the Gaza Strip, providing healthcare, education, and other services to the Palestinian population.
