Hamas (bahasa Arab: حماس Ḥamās, akronim dari Harakat al-Muqawwamatul Islamiyyah حركة المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, secara harfiah "Gerakan Pertahanan Islam" dan kata Arab untuk 'ketekunan'), adalah organisasi IslamPalestina [1], dengan sayap militer terkait, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam,[2] di wilayah Palestina.
Sejak tahun 2007, Hamas telah memerintah Jalur Gaza, setelah memenangkan mayoritas kursi di parlemen Palestina pada pemilihan parlemen Palestina tahun 2006[3] dan mengalahkan organisasi politik Fatah dalam serangkaian bentrokan. Israel, Amerika Serikat,[4] Kanada,[5] Uni Eropa,[6][7] Yordania,[8] Mesir[9] dan Jepang mengklasifikasikan Hamas sebagai organisasi teroris,[10]sementara Iran, Rusia,[11] Turki,[12] Cina[13][14][15][16] dan banyak negara di seluruh dunia Arab tidak mengambil sikap atas Hamas.
Berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip fundamentalisme Islam yang memperoleh momentum di seluruh dunia Arab pada 1980-an, Hamas didirikan pada tahun 1987 selama Intifadhah Pertama) sebagai cabang dari Ikhwanul Muslimin Mesir.[17][18] Sheik Ahmed Yassinsebagai pendiri menyatakan pada tahun 1987, dan Piagam Hamas menegaskan pada tahun 1988, bahwa Hamas didirikan untuk membebaskan Palestina dari pendudukan Israel dan mendirikan negara Islam di wilayah yang sekarang menjadi Israel, Tepi Barat, dan Jalur Gaza[19][20]. Namun, pada bulan Juli 2009, Khaled Meshal, kepala biro politik Hamas, mengatakan organisasi itu bersedia bekerja sama dengan "resolusi konflik Arab-Israel yang termasuk negara Palestina berdasarkan perbatasan tahun 1967", asalkan pengungsi Palestina memegang hak untuk kembali ke Israel dan Yerusalem Timur menjadi ibu kota negara baru.[21][22] Namun,Mousa Abu Marzook Mohammed, wakil ketua biro politik Hamas, mengatakan pada tahun 2014 bahwa "Hamas tidak akan mengakui Israel", dan menambahkan "ini adalah garis merah yang tidak bisa dilewati".[23]
Izzuddin al-Qassam, sayap militer yang berafiliasi dengan Hamas, telah meluncurkan serangan terhadap Israel, terhadap penduduk sipil dan sasaran target militer.[24] Serangan terhadap sasaran sipil telah menyertakan serangan roket dan dari tahun 1993 hingga 2006, bom bunuh diri.[25] Serangan terhadap sasaran militer menyertakan tembakan senjata ringan, roket dan serangan mortir.[24][26][27]
Pada bulan Juni 2008, sebagai bagian dari gencatan senjata yang ditengahi Mesir, Hamas menghentikan serangan roket ke Israeldan melakukan beberapa upaya untuk mencegah serangan oleh organisasi lain.[28][29] Setelah masa tenang selama empat bulan, konflik meningkat ketika Israel melakukan aksi militer dengan tujuan untuk mencegah penculikan yang direncanakan oleh Hamas, menggunakan terowongan yang digali di bawah pagar keamanan perbatasan,[rujukan rusak] dan menewaskan tujuh operator Hamas. Sebagai pembalasan, Hamas menyerang Israel dengan rentetan roket.[29][30]] Pada akhir Desember 2008, saat Israel menyerang Gaza[31] dan menarik pasukannya dari wilayah pada pertengahan Januari 2009.[32] Setelah Perang Gaza, Hamas terus memerintahJalur Gaza dan Israel mempertahankan blokade ekonomi. Pada tanggal 4 Mei 2011, Hamas dan Fatah mengumumkan perjanjian rekonsiliasi yang menyediakan untuk "pembentukan pemerintah Palestina sementara secara bersama" sebelum pemilihan nasional yang dijadwalkan pada 2012.[33] Menurut laporan berita Israel yang mengutip pemimpin Fatah Mahmud Abbas, sebagai syarat bergabung dengan PLO, Khalid Mishaal setuju untuk menghentikan "perjuangan bersenjata" melawan Israel dan menerima Negara Palestina dalam perbatasan tahun 1967, di samping Israel.[34]
Daftar isi
[sembunyikan]Etimologi
Hamas adalah akronim dari frase bahasa Arab حركة المقاومة الاسلامية atau Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya, yang berarti "Gerakan Perlawanan Islam". Kata Arab Hamas juga berarti pengabdian dan semangat di jalan Allah.[35] Piagam Hamas menafsirkan namanya yang berarti "kekuatan dan keberanian".[36]
Tujuan
Piagam Hamas 1988 menyatakan bahwa Hamas "berusaha untuk menaikkan bendera Allah di setiap inci dari Palestina" (Pasal Enam). Pasal Tiga puluh Salah satu dari Piagam negara: "Di bawah sayap Islam, adalah mungkin bagi para pengikut tiga agama -Islam, Kristen dan Yahudi- untuk hidup berdampingan dalam damai dan tenang dengan satu sama lain"[37]
Setelah pemilu tahun 2006, pendiri Hamas Mahmoud Al-Zahar tidak menutup kemungkinan menerima "solusi dua-negara sementara", dan menyatakan bahwa ia bermimpi "menggantung peta besar dunia di dinding rumah saya di Gaza yang tidak menunjukkan Israel di atasnya".[38] Xinhua melaporkan bahwa Al-Zahar "tidak menutup kemungkinan memiliki Yahudi, Muslim dan Kristen yang hidup di bawah kedaulatan sebuah negara Islam".[38] Pada akhir 2006, Ismail Haniyeh, pemimpin politik Hamas, mengatakan bahwa jika negara Palestina terbentuk berdasarkan batas 1967, Hamas bersedia untuk menyatakan gencatan senjata yang bisa bertahan selama 20 tahun, dan menyatakan bahwa Hamas tidak akan pernah mengakui "perampas pemerintah Zionis" dan akan terus "seperti gerakan jihad sampai pembebasan Yerusalem".[39]
Israel telah menolak beberapa tawaran gencatan senjata dengan Hamas karena berpendapat kelompok itu menggunakan upaya genjatan untuk mempersiapkan pertempuran yang lebih besar daripada tujuan perdamaian.[40] Kolumnis Majalah Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg, bersama dengan analis lain, percaya Hamas mungkin tidak mampu melakukan rekonsiliasi permanen dengan Israel.[41][42] Mkhaimer Abusada, seorang ilmuwan politik di Universitas Al Azhar, menulis bahwa perundingan Hamas "dari hudna [gencatan senjata sementara], bukan perdamaian atau rekonsiliasi dengan Israel. Mereka percaya dari waktu ke waktu mereka akan cukup kuat untuk membebaskan semua Palestina yang bersejarah."[43]
Kritik
Kedekatan dengan warga sipil selama perang
Setelah Operasi Pilar Pertahanan, Human Rights Watch menyatakan bahwa kelompok-kelompok Palestina telah membahayakan warga sipil dengan "berulang kali menembakkan roket dari daerah padat penduduk, dekat rumah, bisnis, dan hotel" dan mencatat bahwa di bawah hukum internasional, pihak dalam konflik mungkin tidak menempatkan sasaran militer di atau dekat daerah padat penduduk. Satu roket diluncurkan dekat dengan Shawa dan Housari Building, di mana berbagai media Palestina dan internasional memiliki kantor; yang lain membakar halaman sebuah rumah dekat Deira Hotel.[44][apakah terpercaya?][45][tak ada di rujukan] Human Rights Watch mengatakan tidak mampu mengidentifikasi setiap kejadian di mana penduduk sipil telah diperingatkan untuk mengevakuasi daerah sebelum peluncuran roket oleh militan Palestina.[45]
Anak-anak dan perempuan sebagai tameng manusia
Israel menuduh Hamas menggunakan anak-anak sebagai perisai manusia. Pemerintah Israel merilis rekaman video di mana ia mengklaim dua gerilyawan ditayangkan ketika meraih lengan seorang anak muda dari belakang dan memegang dia untuk berjalan di depan mereka menuju sekelompok orang yang menunggu di dekat tembok. IDF berpendapat militan menempatkan anak itu di antara mereka melawan penembak jitu Israel. Adegan kedua menunjukkan seorang individu, yang digambarkan sebagai teroris, meraih anak sekolah keluar dari lantai, di mana ia bersembunyi di balik kolom dari api IDF, dan menggunakan dia sebagai perisai manusia untuk berjalan ke lokasi yang berbeda.[46]
Setelah 15 tersangka militan mengungsi di sebuah masjid dari pasukan Israel, BBC melaporkan bahwa radio Hamas memerintahkan wanita lokal untuk pergi ke masjid untuk melindungi militan. Dua wanita itu kemudian tewas ketika pasukan Israel melepaskan tembakan.[47]
Pada bulan November 2006, Angkatan Udara Israel memperingatkan Muhammad Weil Baroud, komandan Komite Perlawanan Rakyat yang dituduh meluncurkan roket ke wilayah Israel, untuk mengevakuasi rumahnya di blok kamp pengungsi apartemen Jabalya sebelum serangan udara Israel yang sedang direncanakan. Baroud menanggapi dengan meminta sukarelawan untuk melindungi blok apartemen dan bangunan di dekatnya dan, menurut The Jerusalem Post, ratusan warga setempat, sebagian besar perempuan dan anak-anak, merespons. Israel menghentikan serangan udara. Israel menyebut aksi contoh Hamas menggunakan perisai manusia, meskipun disekeliling sebuah blok apartemen kebanyakan di bawah interpretasi hukum internasional tidak seperti pada contoh, karena istilah "perisai manusia" melibatkan pihak yang bertikai menempatkan warga sipil di "dekat dengan sasaran militer yang sah".[48][49][50] Menanggapi insiden itu, Hamas menyatakan: "Kami menang. Mulai sekarang kita akan membentuk rantai manusia di sekitar setiap rumah yang terancam pembongkaran."[51] Dalam siaran pers 22 November, Human Rights Watch mengecam Hamas, dengan menyatakan: "Tidak ada alasan untuk memanggil warga sipil ke tempat serangan yang direncanakan. Benar atau tidaknya rumah sebagai sasaran militer yang sah, sengaja meminta warga sipil untuk berdiri dalam bahaya adalah terlarang."[52] Setelah kritik, hak-hak Asasi Manusia mengeluarkan pernyataan yang mengatakan bahwa penilaian awal mereka adalah keliru. Mereka menyatakan bahwa, berdasarkan bukti yang tersedia, pembongkaran rumah sebenarnya tindakan administratif, dilihat dalam konteks kebijakan lama Israel dari penghancuran rumah secara hukum, bukan tindakan militer dan dengan demikian tidak akan jatuh dalam lingkup yang mengatur hukum permusuhan selama konflik bersenjata, yang telah menjadi dasar bagi kritik awal mereka terhadap Hamas.[47]
Opini publik tentang Hamas
Di negara-negara Arab
Pada 2010, Pew Global Attitudes Survey menemukan bahwa 60% dari Muslim Yordania dan 49% Muslim di kedua negara Lebanon dan Mesir membuat opini yang menguntungkan terhadap Hamas.[53] Sebuah survei Pew pada 2007 menemukan 62% warga Palestina memegang pendapat yang menguntungkan kelompok.[54]

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Arabic: كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام; named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, often shortened to Al-Qassam Brigades, EQB) is the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas organization.
Created in mid 1991,[5] it was at the time concerned with blocking the Oslo Accords negotiations.[6][7] From 1994 to 2000, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades carried out a number of attacks against Israelis.
At the beginning of the Second Intifada, the group became a central target of Israel. The group's strength and its ability to carry out complex and lethal attacks surprised many observers. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades operated several cells in the West Bank, but most of them were destroyed by 2004 following numerous Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operations in the region.[citation needed] In contrast, Hamas retained a forceful presence in the Gaza Strip, generally considered its stronghold. The group is currently headed by Marwan Issa.[citation needed]
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades is listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union,[8] the United States,[9]Australia,[10] New Zealand,[11] the United Kingdom[8][12] and Egypt.[13]
Contents
[hide]Name
The group is named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Muslim preacher in the British Mandate of Palestine. In 1930 al-Qassam organised and established the Black Hand, an anti-Zionist and anti-British militant organisation.[14]
Aims
According to EQB:
To contribute in the effort of liberating Palestine and restoring the rights of the Palestinian people under the sacred Islamic teachings of the Holy Quran, the Sunnah (traditions) of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the traditions of Muslims rulers and scholars noted for their piety and dedication.[5]
Al-Qassam Brigades aims to liberate all of Palestine from what they describe as Zionist occupation, and to achieve the rights of the Palestinian people that were robbed by the occupation, and it consider itself part of the movement of a project of national liberation.[15]
Organisation and structure
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades are an integral part of Hamas. While they are subordinate to Hamas's broad political goals and its ideological objectives, they have a significant level of independence in decision making.[16] In 1997, political scientists Ilana Kass and Bard O'Neill described Hamas's relationship with the Brigades as reminiscent of Sinn Féin's relationship to the military arm of the Irish Republican Army and quoted a senior Hamas official: "The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade is a separate armed military wing, which has its own leaders who do not take their orders [from Hamas] and do not tell us of their plans in advance."[17] Carrying the IRA analogy further, Kass and O'Neill stated that the separation of the political and military wings shielded Hamas' political leaders from responsibility for terrorism while the plausible deniability this provided made Hamas an eligible representative for peace negotiations as had happened with Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams.[18]
The fighters' identities and positions in the group often remain secret until their death; even when they fight against Israeli incursions, all the militants wear a characteristic black hood on which the group's green headband is attached. The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades operate on a model of independent cells and even high-ranking members are often unaware of the activities of other cells. This allows the group to consistently regenerate after member deaths. During the al-Aqsa intifada, the leaders of the group were targeted by numerous airstrikes that killed many members, including Salah Shahade and Adnan al-Ghoul. The current leader of the brigades, Mohammed Deif, remains at large and is said to have survived at least five assassination attempts.[19]
Operations and activities
The international community, and more specifically the United Nations,[who?] considers the practice of war combatants to turn civilians into human shields as a violation of the Geneva Conventions stardards of war and a[20][21][22] and indiscriminate attacks, e.g. by rockets or suicide bombers[23]on civilian populations as illegal under international law.[24]
The transition into a recognised[who?] militant organisation began during the establishment of the Oslo Accords to assist Hamas efforts in blocking them.[25] In 2003 and 2004, the brigades in Gaza resisted IDF incursions, including the siege of Jabalya in October 2004. However, these battles took a heavy toll in the brigade's ranks, which suffered heavy losses. The group, however, continued to gain strength and remained capable of carrying out attacks in the following years. The brigades can count on a large pool of people willing to join them[citation needed], smuggle in supplies and provide the fighters with homemade weapons such as the al-Bana, the Batar, the Yasin and the Qassam rocket.[16]
In early 2005, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades appeared to stand by a truce negotiated between the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. However the brigades took advantage of the truce to regroup.[citation needed] Following Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in August 2005, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades staged several rallies in which they displayed thousands of fighters and an assortment of weaponry in Gaza. These celebrations ended abruptly when, on 23 September, twenty Palestinians were killed as a car carrying Qassam rockets exploded among a dense crowd. Since this incident, the brigades refrained from staging public displays of force as well as launching attacks at Israel, which, in turn, refrained from targeting Hamas members in assassinations and raids. Despite occasional and brief flare-ups of violence, the brigades generally respected this truce until the beginning of June 2006. The Palestinian Authority has been, during this period, under intense pressure from Israel and the Middle East Quartet to disarm Hamas, but fears of heavy resistance from the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and a possible civil war, coupled with a victory of the movement in the 2006 legislative elections, prevented any such attempts. As a result, it is widely believed that the brigades stockpiled thousands of homemade weapons and projectiles during 2005 and 2006 and were actively attempting to rebuild their destroyed cells in the West Bank.[citation needed]
In May 2006, a police force was formed in Gaza, consisting of thousands of brigade fighters. It aimed to restore law and order in the city but instead broke out into clashes withFatah militias.[citation needed] On 10 June 2006, after the Gaza beach blast in which seven civilians died, the brigades announced a cessation of the 2005 truce with Israel. In the following hours, they claimed responsibility for launching Qassam rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot, and threatened to step up their attacks.[citation needed]
In June and July 2006, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades were involved in the operation which led to the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, and in the subsequent heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip following Operation Summer Rains, launched by the IDF. It was the first time in over 18 months that the brigades were actively involved in fighting against Israeli soldiers. In May 2007, the brigades acknowledged they lost 192 fighters during the operation.[26]
In June 2008, Egypt brokered a cease fire which lasted until 4 November when Israeli forces crossed into Gaza and killed six Hamas fighters which saw rocket attacks on Israel increase from two in September and October to 190 in November. Both sides claimed the other had broken the truce.[16]
Armed strengt
Since its establishment in December 1987, the military capability of the brigades has increased markedly, from rifles to Qassam rockets and more.[27]
The brigades have a substantial weapons inventory of light automatic weapons and grenades, improvised rockets, mortars, bombs, suicide belts and explosives. The group engages in military style training, including training which take place in Gaza itself on a range of weapons designed to inflict significant casualties on civilian and military targets.[28]
The Brigade also has a variety of Anti-tank Guided Missile, like Kornet-E, Konkurs-M, Bulsae-2 (North Korean version of Fagot), 9K11 Malyutka and MILAN missiles, as well as possess anti-aircraft missiles MANPADS, such as the SA-7B, SA-18 Igla missiles and it is believed that it received a number of SA-24 Igla-S from Libya.
While the number of members is known only to the Brigades leadership, in 2011 Israel estimated that the Brigades have a core of several hundred members who receive military style training, including training in Iran and Syria.[29] Additionally, the brigades have an estimated 30,000 operatives "of varying degrees of skill and professionalism" who are members of the internal security forces, Hamas and their supporters. These operatives can be expected to reinforce the Brigades in an "emergency situation".[30] Other sources say otherwise estimating their strength at 30,000-50,000.[4]
According to a statement by CIA director George Tenet in 2000, Hamas has pursued a capability to conduct attacks with toxic chemicals.[27] There have been reports of Hamas operatives planning and preparing attacks incorporating chemicals. In one case, nails and bolts packed into explosives detonated by a Hamas suicide bomber in a December 2001 attack at the Ben-Yehuda street in Jerusalem were soaked in rat poison.[27] In 2014 they launched the first Palestinian reconnaissance (UAV) aircraft called Ababeel1.

Leaders killed by Israel
On 5 January 1996 Israel's Shin Bet arranged for a cell phone that was both bugged and contained explosives be given to Yahya Ayyash. When it was confirmed that it was Ayyash on the phone, Shin Bet remotely detonated it, killing Ayyash instantly.[citation needed]
On 3 September 2005, after Israel's withdrawal from settlements in the Gaza Strip, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam revealed for the first time the names and functions of its commanders on its website as well as in a printed bulletin distributed to Palestinians.[45] Most of the information published, including pictures of three leaders, was reportedly already known byIsrael's intelligence services. According to the bulletin, in 2006 Mohammed Deif was overall commander with Ahmed Ja'abari as second in command. Other sub-commanders controlled Gaza City (Raid Said), the northern Gaza Strip and Jabalya refugee camp (Ahmad al-Ghandur), southern Gaza Strip (Muhammad Abu Shamala) and Khan Younis (Muhammad al-Sanwar).[citation needed]
On 12 July 2006, the Israeli Air Force bombed a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, where Mohammed Deif, Ahmad al-Ghandur and Raid Said were meeting. The three-story house was completely leveled, killing Hamas official Nabil al-Salmiah, his wife, their five children and two other children. Two of the three brigades leaders present escaped with moderate wounds while Deif received a spinal injury that required four hours of surgery.[46]
On 1 January 2009, Nizar Rayan, a top Hamas leader who served as a liaison between the Palestinian organization's political leadership and its military wing, was killed in an Israeli Air Force strike during Operation Cast Lead.[47] The day before the attack, Rayan had advocated renewal of suicide attacks on Israel, declaring, "Our only language with the Jew is through the gun".[48] A 2,000-pound bomb was dropped on his house, also killing his 4 wives (Hiam 'Abdul Rahman Rayan, 46; Iman Khalil Rayan, 46; Nawal Isma'il Rayan, 40; and Sherine Sa'id Rayan, 25) and 11 of their children (As'ad, 2; Usama Ibn Zaid, 3; 'Aisha, 3; Reem, 4; Miriam, 5; Halima, 5; 'Abdul Rahman, 6; Abdul Qader, 12; Aaya, 12; Zainab, 15; and Ghassan, 16).[49][50][51][52][53]
