Hamas

The terrorist organization Hamas is a Sunni Islamic-Palestinian movement founded in 1987. The organization's goal is the establishment of a Palestinian state in the territory of Israel, West Bank and Gaza. Since its formation, the organization has carried out deadly terrorist attacks against Israelis, and on October 7 launched a brutal massacre in which 1,200 people were murdered. The head of the movement’s political bureau is Ismail Haniyeh, and the chief of its military wing is Yahya Sinwar.
