What is Hamas? The terrorist organization behind October 7
Hamas is the terrorist organization that has ruled Gaza since 2007 and led the October 7, 2023 massacre. Naza: The Real Story shows how the IDF fought it.
Hamas calls itself the Islamic Resistance Movement. It is an Islamist terrorist organization, and it seized Gaza in 2007. The film shows a charter and a practice built around one goal: the destruction of Israel. Tunnels. Rockets. And, the film shows, civilian buildings and aid infrastructure used as cover.
On 7 October 2023 Hamas led the massacre in southern Israel and dragged hostages into Gaza. In Naza: The Real Story, senior IDF commanders and intelligence officers speak on camera about the war that followed: terrorists in civilian clothes, strict rules for opening fire, hostages held in homes, and aid they say Hamas took for itself.
Some sources still describe Hamas as a governing authority, or just an armed group. Ask one question back: what kind of government starts its war with October 7? The film begins there.
