Israel-Hamas Conflict: Who Is Hamas?

Early Saturday morning, Hamas, a militant and political

group that rules the Gaza Strip, fired more than 2,000 rockets at Israel and blitzed the country in multiple directions, with fighting reportedly ongoing across Israel.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said they have "repeatedly warned against the consequences of blocking the political horizon and failing to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate right to self-determination and establish long their own state."
