The Ladies Auxiliary of Hamas holds a protest against Egypt

On Monday, the Women's movement of the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" protested against the decision an Egyptian court that declared Hamas' Brigades of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam to be a terrorist organization.

Dozens of these women held signs in front of the previous Egyptian embassy in Gaza, saying "Al Qassam is not terrorist," and "Oh Allah avenge the conspirators against our people in Gaza."



I'm sure Egyptians are very moved.

Especially after Egyptian officials announced that a Qassam Brigades leader was killed during a raid on an Islamist stronghold. Hamas denies that he was a member altogether and his family claims he was killed in Libya after joining a jihadist group there.

Under Sisi, Egypt's track record of telling the truth about Hamas is far from perfect, but they consider it as a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood and have blamed Hamas for smuggling weapons for Sinai-based jihadist groups.
