​The Israeli government has repeatedly accused Hamas, classified by the country as a terrorist group, of attacking Israel from the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip occupied after the 1967 war.

Hamas, an Islamist political and militant group, seeks the creation of an independent state of Palestine and wants Israel to withdraw from the Palestinian territories. Hamas also governs the Gaza Strip independently of the Palestinian Authority.
