Hamas has overshadowed rival Palestinian militant groups with the brutality and scale of the October 7 attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n

The attention of both Tel Aviv and the world media has been on the capabilities and goals of Hamas as the Israeli military prepares to launch a ground invasion of Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel’s military and politicians have openly declared the objective of the operation is to “crush” Hamas in revenge for the terrorist atrocities which left 1,400 civilians and soldiers dead earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Besides Hamas however, armed Palestinians are active in an array of factions which differ greatly in ideology, size, and capability.<\/p>\n

From young upstart TikTokers to Marxist hijackers here is a look at some of the Palestinian militant groups that Hamas could call on to join the upcoming battle with the Israel Defence Force.<\/p>\n

Also known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Islamist groups shares a similar ideology to Hamas.<\/p>\n

PIJ emerged in the early 1980s in the Gaza Strip with the group’s early leaders heavily inspired by the Iranian Revolution of 1979.<\/p>\n

Classified as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and the European Union, PIJ has been involved in numerous violent attacks on Israel, including suicide bombings and rocket attacks.<\/p>\n

PIJ is considered to have strong ties with Iran with some regional analysts going as fire as naming the organisation a proxy of Tehran.<\/p>\n
