Hamas supporters and masked militants from the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, wave the green flags of the Islamist group during a protest in support of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, after Friday prayer in Nusseirat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, Friday, Aug. 18, 2023. It has become an Israeli mantra throughout the latest war in Gaza: Hamas is ISIS. Since the bloody Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that triggered the war, Israeli leaders and commanders have likened the Palestinian militant group to the Islamic State group. They point to Hamas’ brutal slaughter of hundreds of civilians and compare their Gaza war to the U.S.-led campaign to defeat IS in Iraq and Syria. (AP Photo/Adel Hana, File)
