Hamas is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, which means “Islamic Resistance Movement”. It was founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin who was a Palestinian cleric.
Lok Sabha MP and President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Asaduddin Owaisi, did not utter a word against the terrorist attack in Israel but came out in support of Palentine claiming Israel has occupied Palestinian territory.
This comes after Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel from Gaza, attacking towns and kibbutzim near the Strip, killing over 256 people, many of whom were civilians, injuring over 1,788, and reportedly kidnapping hundreds.
