Understanding Hamas: Motives behind the Israel attack.

Hamas, an Islamic resistance movement founded in 1987, is a militant group that controls the Gaza Strip and is known for its attacks on Israel. It seeks the establishment of an Islamic Palestinian state and uses violence to achieve its goals. The recent attacks on Israel were in response to Israeli crackdowns, settlement construction, prisoner detentions, and the ongoing blockade of Gaza. Hamas is funded by Iran and has an estimated 30,000 fighters. Hezbollah, another militant group backed by Iran, also launched attacks on Israel in solidarity with Hamas.
