strictly speaking hamas started as muslim charity organization doing social and educational work.

hamas now has a couple of wings, political and military. people probably hoped that they will end up with political agenda (which still kinda genocidal towards israel and jews), but they ended up with military wing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaza_(2007)
