Hamas was founded by terrorist Sheik Ahmed Yassin as the [[Egypt]]ian [[Muslim Brotherhood|Muslim Brotherhood's]] local political arm in December 1987, following the outbreak of the first [[intifada]]. Hamas published its official charter in 1988. From the 1990s it achieved notoriety for its use of the tactic of [[suicide bombing]], principally against civilian targets in Israel. Hamas members started carrying out terrorist attacks starting in the late 1980s, at first in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The first Hamas suicide bombing took place on April 26, 1993, when Saher al-tamam attacked two Israeli buses in front of a coffee shop in Mehola, killing and injuring several Israelis. It is believed to have killed more than 1500 people in more than 350 separate terrorist attacks since then.

Hamas, founded in 1987 as the Palestinian wing of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], it has ruled in Gaza since 2007. Central to its outlook is an all-consuming sheer hatred of [[Jews]], something it shares with its chief sponsor and arms supplier, the reactionary bourgeois-clerical regime in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
