- Abstract
This article explores the strategic evolution of Hamas, a militant group involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict. It highlights the different forms of resistance and violence that have shaped global conflicts and examines how Hamas has adapted its tactics over time. The article discusses key moments in Hamas's history, such as the Oslo Accords and their victory in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, which presented challenges in balancing political legitimacy with their militant orientation. It also delves into Hamas's military strategies, including guerrilla warfare and the use of deception. The article concludes by acknowledging that while Hamas has evolved strategically, it is still considered a terrorist organization by many. Understanding Hamas's growth provides insights into resistance groups in asymmetric battles and emphasizes the importance of adaptability and a comprehensive approach in such conflicts.
