A Hamas attack typically refers to a violent action or series of actions carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas (Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya), which is considered a terrorist organization by several countries, including Israel, the United States, and the European Union. Hamas was founded in the late 1980s with the goal of liberating Palestinian territories, particularly the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, from Israeli control and establishing an Islamic state.
