Israel-Gaza conflict: What is Hamas? – BBC News
Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist militant group which rules the Gaza Strip.
Hamas is sworn to Israel’s destruction and has fought several wars with Israel since it took power in Gaza in 2007.
In between those wars, it has fired or allowed other groups to fire thousands of rockets at Israel, and carried out other deadly attacks.
Israel has also repeatedly attacked Hamas with air strikes, and, together with Egypt, has blockaded the Gaza Strip since 2007 in what it says is for its security.
Hamas as a whole, or in some cases its military wing, is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the United States, the European Union and the UK, as well as other powers. Hamas is backed by Iran which funds it and provides weapons and training.
The BBC’s Analysis Editor Ros Atkins explains.

Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.
“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.
The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made Ā£97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?
In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.

1. "A TERRORIST ORGANISATION"……unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims: Surely that is Israel.
2. "A FREEDOM FIGHTER" is a person who takes part in a resistance movement against an oppressive political or social establishment. Sounds like a Palestinian.

āāIt is a resistance movement founded in 1987. Their only goal is to liberate the land of Palestine from the Zionists. The Zionists killed children, killed women, displaced millions of families, stole their land and homes, and destroyed entire cities. The media is owned by the Zionists, and through the media platforms they have deluded people into believing that Hamas is a movement of terrorists. Please search on YouTube for Abdullah Al-Sharif has published a 48-minute video, which is translated into English. In that video, you will understand the whole story.

Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organization not militants. In fact: The BBC, for instance, didnāt hold back from describing 9/11, the 2005 London bombings and the 2015 Bataclan Theatre attack in Paris as āterrorā attacks. Indeed, at the very moment that it was making the case that describing Hamas as terrorists would breach its editorial guidelines, the BBC reported the shooting of two Swedish nationals in Brussels as a āterror attack.ā

Besides the construction of the Ben-Gurion canal, there is also a huge gas field directly off the coast in the Mediterranean Sea that belongs to Palestine: 'Gaza Marine is a natural gas field off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Marine natural gas field is located approximately 36 kilometers (22 mi) offshore at a depth of 610 meters (2,000 feet). The field was discovered in 2000 by BG Group and is estimated to contain more than 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.' – Wikipedia. As the current price today is $2.85 per cubic foot, the value of this field would be approximately $2.85 trillion. Israel wants to access these fields and also aims to build a pipeline. Gaza is in the way. Now you know the reason for the war.

I had a Palestinian friend in grade 8. He tried to convert me into a Muslim, and after telling him I was already Christian, he looked down on me and stopped being my friend. I'm not saying all Muslims are like this, but trying to convert other people by force is definitely a problem that must be fixed. Lest we forget about the Inquisition and Crusades.

Why haven't you mentioned the multiple peace treaties hamas tried to get Israel to accept?
I don't know everything but it's obvious who the colonists are in this war. You can't hide the obvious. I know this holy war has been going on for many years, and it's finally nearing it's summit
@TheyStillCallMeRicky
December 16, 2023 at 8:48 pm
One of the things that bothers me
is how pro-Israel people always shift the blame of hamas to the Palestinian people because they voted for Hamas
No ONE points out that when Hamas was elected
It was on a platform of Anti-Corruption and had NO "Death to Israel" in their platform
The Palestinians didn't vote for the current charter of Hamas.. that changed AFTER the elections.

Call me ignorant because I feel I am but asking a sincere question out of curiosityā¦ shouldnāt the United Nations have helped with this issues a while ago? Or is that not whom are responsible for helping these families? Okay so the UN are China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and ten non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly (with end of term year):ā according to Googleā¦ I was never into paying attention to geography in HS & I know this isnāt an excuse either but I am from Mexico but I grew up in the US since the age of 3 & seeing the news regarding this current situation affecting our world peaked my thoughts as to how this have been going on since 2007 or how others have said itā¦ for 75 years? Idkā¦ just felt like sharing my thoughts

One of the more ironic ironies here, that the redoubtable HAMAS 'Ethical-Sensibility Focus Group' really should be spending more time focusing on – esp. given that 'gayness' is HARAM under the hardcore Sharia Law advocated by 'Palestinians' …is that the designated nomenclature of their 'PALESTINE' Caliphate is itself an HOMAGE to HOMOSEXUALITY … the Roman Emperor Hadrian – who was an ardent Grecophile in general & a gluttonous connoisseur of the voluptuous buttock-buns of Greek-Adonis girly-boys in particular – 'bitchily' rebranded schmuckless JUDEA to purty-prepuce 'Palaestina' in tribute to his favourite Greek-Philistine girly-boy catamite Antinoƶs …"what's in a name??" …indeed. It just does not seem right to me that HAMAS's chosen nomenclature for putative Sacred & Holy Islamic soil – is, in point of FACT, an eternal Homage & Tribute to BOTH Polytheistic-Infidel-Imperialism AND Pagan-Sordid-Sodomy ,,,,,,, as per: https://t.ly/U8dae
