The Rise & Fall of Hamas | Hamas Documentary
The complete history of Hamas from its 1987 founding by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin during the First Intifada to its destruction following the October 7th, 2023 attack on Israel. This film covers Hamas's evolution from a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot to Gaza's ruling power, the suicide bombing campaigns led by Yahya Ayyash "The Engineer," the Gaza wars (Cast Lead 2008, Pillar of Defense 2012, Protective Edge 2014, Guardian of the Walls 2021), Israeli assassinations of key leaders, the 2006 election victory, the 2007 takeover from Fatah, the blockade that isolated Gaza, the al-Qassam Brigades' military operations, underground tunnel networks, relationships with Iran and Hezbollah, and how their most audacious attack triggered the systematic elimination of Hamas leadership including Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammad Deif, ending their control over the Gaza Strip.
