Original Note:
“A few of them take arms” is misleading. Hamas has an estimated 30-40,000 fighters and annual budget of $2 Bn. The group maintains a military structure, its arsenal has rockets, long-range missiles, bombs and drones. It refers to itself as an armed resistance group. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/how-hamas-built-army https://www.axios.com/2023/10/21/palestine-hamas-military-power# https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/hamas-money
