It is known that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades is the military wing of Hamas, which is a Palestinian Islamic movement founded in 1987. The Qassam Brigades are considered a Palestinian resistance organization active in the Gaza Strip, working against the Israeli occupation and carrying out armed operations against Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Qassam Brigades were established during the First Palestinian Intifada (the popular uprising), also known as the "First Palestinian Intifada" or "the Great Uprising," which aims to liberate Palestine and establish an independent Palestinian state. The Qassam Brigades are primarily active in the Gaza Strip and have a wide network of activities that include military, social, and service-oriented initiatives, making them an integral part of the political and social context in the Gaza Strip and Palestine in general.
