Hamas, which was founded as the armed movement of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine, and its armed wing, the Izzeddin al-Qassam Brigade, are among the issues that the global public is curious about.

Hamas, which has established distant but good relations with Islamic countries, is defined as a "terrorist organization" by Western countries. However, it was brought to power by the Palestinian people in the elections held in 2006.

They do not accept being associated with terrorism and their only goal is to end Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands. Qassam takes its name from the Syrian-origin Palestinian leader Sheikh Izzeddin al-Qassam, who died in 1935 while fighting against British colonialism in Palestine.

They have an ever-growing strategy in terms of both armament and military training. An army order such as squad, platoon, company and battalion has been established and all of these take place at the military academy.

Al-Qassam Brigades began their military operations first with pistols and then with rifles. A threshold has been crossed with the automatic weapon produced locally. Their names were heard all over the world in 2001, when the first missile was launched into the Jewish settlement in southern Israel. They can carry out attacks and reconnaissance with the unmanned aerial vehicles they produce with their own means.

With the latest attack, it was seen that there was a significant improvement in Hamas' military capabilities, technical-tactics and weapon inventory compared to previous years. Considering that the Qassam Brigades have been preparing for many years and recruiting soldiers on a voluntary basis, it is expected that their significant influence in Palestinian politics will continue for many years. We can say that it has strengthened its leadership position in the eyes of the Palestinian people due to Israel's attacks.
