The history of Hamas. Hamas documentary. World Of Knowledge

Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist but pragmatic, militant, and nationalist organization.

It has a social service wing, Dawah, and a military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

It won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and became the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip following the 2007 Battle of Gaza.

Israel and Hamas have since engaged in several wars of varying intensity.

Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan and the United States classify Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Australia, New Zealand, Paraguay and the United Kingdom classify only its military wing as a terrorist organization.

It is not considered a terrorist organization by Brazil, China, Egypt, Iran, Norway, Qatar, Russia, Syria and Turkey.

In December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly rejected a U.S. resolution condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization

Since 1994, the group has frequently stated that it would accept a truce if Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders, paid reparations, allowed free elections in the territories and gave Palestinian refugees the right to return

Hamas's military wing has launched attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, often describing them as retaliatory, in particular for assassinations of the upper echelon of their leadership.

Tactics have included suicide bombings and, since 2001, rocket attacks.

Human Rights Watch has condemned as war crimes and crimes against humanity both Hamas and Israel for attacks on civilians during the conflict, stating that the rationale of reprisals is never valid when civilians are targeted
