Al-Qassam Brigades

The Al-Qassam Brigades are the military wing of Hamas, a Palestinian political and militant organization. Established in the late 1980s, they engage in armed resistance against Israel, including rocket attacks, military operations, and security efforts. Their goal is to defend Palestinian territories and promote their political objectives. Recognized as a terrorist organization by several countries, they operate covertly and are involved in ongoing conflicts in the region. The Brigades are distinct from Hamas's political activities, playing a central role in the group's armed resistance strategy.
