Hamas

History
Hamas (Arabic: حماس‎ Ḥamās, "enthusiasm", an acronym of حركة المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, "Islamic Resistance Movement") is the Palestinian Sunni Islamic or Islamist political party that governs the Gaza Strip. Hamas also has a military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Since June 2007 Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of the Palestinian Territories, after it won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Parliament in the January 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections and then defeated the Fatah political organization in a series of violent clashes. The European Union, the United States, Canada, Israel and Japan classify Hamas as a terrorist organization, while nations such as Russia, Turkey, and Switzerland do not.

Based on the principles of Islamic fundamentalism gaining momentum throughout the Arab world in the 1980s, Hamas was founded in 1987 (during the First Intifada) as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Co-founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin stated in 1987 and the Hamas Charter affirmed in 1988 that Hamas was founded to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation and to establish an Islamic state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. In July 2009, Khaled Meshal, Hamas's Damascus-based political bureau chief, said the organization was willing to cooperate with "a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict which included a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders," provided that Palestinian refugees hold the right to return to Israel and that East Jerusalem be the new nation's capital. The charter exhibits the influence of antisemitic conspiracy theories throughout, as evidenced by the explicit mention of the "The Protocols of the Elder of Zion," or statements labeling "Freemasons, The Rotary and Lions clubs" as "sabotage groups ... behind the drug trade and alcoholism in all its kinds." Some experts and advocacy groups believe that statements by some Hamas leaders display similar conspiratorial influences, though Hamas officials are clear to describe the conflict with Israel as political and not religious. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas affiliated military wing, has launched attacks with both military and civilian victims. Tactics have included rocket attacks and, from 1993 to 2008, suicide bombings. Military targets included Israeli and Egyptian outposts and border crossings and rival Palestinian militias in the occupied territories.

In the January 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections Hamas won a decisive majority in the Palestinian Parliament, defeating the PLO-affiliated Fatah party. Following the elections, the United States and the EU halted financial assistance to the Hamas-led administration. In March 2007 a national unity government, headed by Prime Minister Ismail Haniya of Hamas, was briefly formed, but this failed to restart international financial assistance. Tensions over control of Palestinian security forces soon erupted into the 2007 Battle of Gaza,[30] after which Hamas retained control of Gaza while its officials were ousted from government positions in the West Bank. Israel and Egypt then imposed an economic blockade on Gaza, on the grounds that Fatah forces were no longer providing security there.

In June 2008, as part of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, Hamas ceased rocket attacks on Israel and made some efforts to prevent attacks by other organizations. After a four months calm, the conflict escalated when Israel carried out a military action with the stated aim to prevent an abduction planned by Hamas, using a tunnel that had been dug under the border security fence, killing seven Hamas operatives. In retaliation, Hamas attacked Israel with a barrage of rockets. In late December 2008, Israel attacked Gaza, withdrawing its forces from the territory in mid-January 2009. After the Gaza War, Hamas continued to govern the Gaza strip and Israel maintained its economic blockade. On May 4, 2011, Hamas and Fatah announced a reconciliation agreement that provides for "creation of a joint caretaker Palestinian government" prior to national elections scheduled for 2012. As part of that agreement, Hamas' resistance would be peaceful and not military, according to Israeli news reports

Battle vs Stasi
Weapons used by Hamas: Ak-47, Yasin RPG, Suicide Bomber, Qassam rocket.

Hamas:

Stasi:

In the City of Gaza, the Stasi was conducting an undercover operation to eliminate an underground facility that Hamas is using the build explosives, and take out any Hamas member that might get in their way, regardless of the consequences. For this they have sent six of their best agents, under the disguise of German tourists. Two Stasi agents are getting into one of the city’s buildings, it looked like any other building on the city, but their sources indicated that the underground factory of explosives was there.

At the basement of the building, three Hamas members are building Qassam Rockets, Yasin RPGs and exploding vests to be used in Suicide Bombing missions. The one building the exploding vest, his job done, tries it on to make sure it fits right. Unknown to them, the two Stasi agents are right before the other side of the door. They hear the Hamas agents working inside, and know that they have found their target. “Dies ist Team ein. Sie sind auf das Gebäude untersuchen wir. Wir sind in gehen, sie zu töten.” says one of the Stasi agents into a pocket radio transmitter, then they both take out their Skorpion vz. 61 from their coats, and kick the door in.

The Hamas agents are taken by surprise as the Stasi agents storm in the room and start shooting at them. The Hamas member building the Yasin RPGs, who was closer to the door is the first to fall down as he is filled with bullets from both the Skorpion vz. 61s.

Stasi:

“خذ ما تستطيع ، والخروج من الباب السري!” says the Hamas agent with the exploding vest on to his remaining teammate, the other Hamas agent nods his head. He grabs the Qassam Rocket he was building with his right arm and one of the finished Tasin RPGs with his other hand, and runs away from the room, trough a secret door on the back of the basement. Alone against the two Stasi agents, the remaining Hamas member with the exploding vest runs towards the two Stasi agents, taking some bullets but not stopping, he presses the button on the exploding vest as he yells out “الله أكبر!” and explodes, taking the two Stasi agents with him.

Outside of the building inside a car, three more Stasi agents are waiting. The one behind the driving wheel is talking through the pocket radio transmitter, “Team, ist dies ein Team zwei. Reagieren. Bist du da? Reagieren Sie!” getting no answer he turns to his teammate, behind the wheel. “Sie sind nicht reagiert. Wir haben die Informationen in Sicherheit zu bringen.” he instructs. The other Stasi member nods, writes down the address of the building where the secret Hamas factory was set up in a piece of paper, then rolls it and puts it inside a Dead Drop Spike, closing it. The driver then talks again into the radio, “Hans, ist dieses Team zwei. Wir sind hier rauszukommen. Abdeckung unserer Flucht aus Ihrer Position.

Outside, high on a nearby rooftop, a fourth Stasi agent, armed with a Dragunov Sniper rifle puts down the radio transmitter he was using, and looks down trough the sniper scope on he rifle, looking for any danger around the car of the other two Stasi agents.

Unknown to them, the Hamas agent that survived the raid has gotten over to another secret hideout of Hamas, where they keep their stocks weapons, which is being guarded by three Hamas agents with Ak-47s. “نحن تعرضوا لكمين!” he tells the others. The four of them immediately leave the hideout, putting on their hoods and green headbands, the one with the Qassam rocket and Yasin RPG leaves the rocket and takes with him the grenade launcher. They quickly leave the hideout and go to the streets, many people are around the streets and when they see them with their weapons they start to run away in panic. The three Stasi agents in the car see the four Hamas agents with the Ak-47s and the Yasin RPG, and quickly speed the car away. “هناك!” Yells the Hamas agent with the Yasin RPG, pointing at the speeding car with the Stasi agents within, the Germans sticking out in a town full of Arabs like a sore thumb. The three Hamas agents with the AK-47s start shooting at the speeding car, some civilians getting caught in the cross fire, the Stasi agent on the back seat of the car takes out a Skorpion vz. 61 and returns fire, but he doesn’t manage to get any hits on the Hamas members.

The agent on the rooftop with the Dragunov Sniper Rifle sees the cross fire, aims his rifle at one of the Hamas member holding an Ak-47, and pulls the trigger. The other three Hamas members look in surprise as one of his teammates takes a bullet in his head and drops down dead.

Stasi:

“لأنهم وصلوا قناص! الاحتماء!” yells the Hamas member with the Yasin RPG. The remaining Hamas agents run in different directions, trough the screaming pedestrians. The agent with the Dragunov Sniper Rifle tries to kill other agents, but he misses, managing to kill just innocent passersby instead. The remaining two Hamas members with the Ak-47s keep shooting at the car, and manage to get the tires, the car then spins out of control, and crashes into a small shop, killing everyone inside the shop. The three Stasi agents are stunned from the crash, and a little bruised, but otherwise they are okay. They then see how the Hamas member with the Yasin RPG is aiming the big grenade launcher at them, they quickly open the doors to get out of the doomed car. The driver and the one with the Dead Drop Spike get out, but the one on the back seat can’t open his door because of the dents in the car from the crash. His eyes open wide as the last thing he sees is the grenade from the Yasin RPG flying at him, and then the car explodes.

Stasi:

The two Stasi agents that manager to get out of the car run trough the streets of Gaza as two Hamas agents keep shooting at them while the third with the used Yasin RPG runs back to their secret hideout, but they all miss the Stasi agents as the Germans run trough the crowd and the bullets of the Ak-47s just get innocent pedestrians. Finally the two Hamas members runs out of bullets on the Ak-47s, and as they are changing the cartridges, the Stasi agents take out their Ballistic Knifes. They press the button on them and the blades fly towards the Hamas members, one of them gets the blade in his throat, and he drops dead immediately.

The other Hamas member, however, gets lucky as the blade of the Ballistic Knife is stopped by the body of a screaming passerby. He replaces the cartridge of the Ak-47 and fires at the two Stasi members, killing them instantly.

Stasi:

The Hamas member walks over to them and registers their dead bodies, he finds the Dead Drop Spike in the coat of one of the agents. He turns the opening, but not doing it correctly causes it to explode, killing him and all the people that was screaming and running around him.

Hamas:

Stasi:

From the rooftop, seeing everything from the Sniper Scope of his Dragunov rifle, the remaining Stasi agent saw how all of his teammates were taken down and prepares to leave the roof. He is putting away the sniper rifle, when he sees the last Hamas agent on the street. His eyes go wide as he sees that he is setting the Qassam rocket on the street across from the building he’s in, and fires it. The Qassam rocket flies quickly and surely towards the building, the Stasi agent was unable to do anything as the rocket explodes, killing everyone inside the building, and then causing it to fall down.

Stasi:

As he sees the building crumbling before him into rubble, the last Hamas member rises up his fist in victory and yells out “حماس‎!”

Winner: Hamas
