Hamas, the militant outfit which has been engaging in a bloody war with Israel, has been barred from most of the social media platforms. However, there has been a sudden surge in its following on the popular messaging app Telegram&nbsp;since it launched the sudden and brutal October 7 terror attack on Israel.

One of the accounts which belongs&nbsp;to the armed wing of the Hamas movement, al-Qassam Brigades, saw its following triple, and a ten-fold increase was seen in the number of views garnered over videos and other content shared by the account. &nbsp;

In the United States, Hamas has been designated as a foreign terror organisation, and as per the new internet laws introduced in the European Union, social media platforms can be charged penalties for sharing terroristic content.&nbsp;

The accounts of Hamas have been prohibited on Meta and Google, however, Telegram - a social media company founded by a Russian entrepreneur who is now based in Dubai - took the decision to permit the group to continue the use of its service.&nbsp;

X, which was formerly known as Twitter, said that it has placed a ban on Hamas and has deleted “hundreds” of “Hamas-affiliated accounts.” However, last week, the European Union stated that it has started an investigation into the company regarding illegal content and disinformation being spread about the Israel-Hamas war on its platform.&nbsp;

<h2>Proliferating audience of Hamas&nbsp;</h2>

The Telegram channel for the military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, garnered around 200,000 followers at the time of the attack. The following of the channel has since tripled, as per an analysis by the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab.

Before the attack was launched, the channel's posts were viewed on average about 25,000 times. Now, the posts are getting viewed more than 300,000 times, which is a 10-fold increase in its viewership.&nbsp;

Another channel, which posts video messages from a spokesperson of Hamas, had around 166,000 followers before October 7 and now its followers have increased to more than 414,000, according to Memetica, a threat analysis company.

United States President Joe Biden, in his latest comments on the Israel-Hamas war, has said that Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip in the future will be a "big mistake",&nbsp;as he considered a trip to Israel amid the escalating war with Hamas. No decision was made about whether he will be travelling to Israel or not, as the National Security Council spokesperson said that the White House has not finalised any trip which needs to be announced.&nbsp;

In an interview with CBS News'&nbsp;60 Minutes,&nbsp;Biden said that he believed Israel would act in accordance with the rules of war and that innocent civilians would have access to water, food and medicine.&nbsp;He added that Israel should not occupy the territory for the long term, stating that the region must be governed by "a Palestinian authority."

"I think it'd be a big mistake. Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don't represent all the Palestinian people," Biden said.&nbsp;

However, he added that carrying out an invasion and "taking out the extremists" is a "necessary requirement". When questioned if Hamas, who was described by Biden as "a bunch of cowards", should be entirely eliminated, he replied: "Yes I do."

"But there needs to be a Palestinian authority. There needs to be a path to a Palestinian state," he stated while reiterating the long-standing call by the United States for a two-state solution.

Biden was then asked by 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley if there are chances of US troops joining the war.

"I don't think that's necessary," said Biden, adding, "Israel has one of the finest fighting forces in the country. I guarantee we're gonna provide them everything they need."&nbsp;

<h2>No mention of Hamas in President&nbsp;Abbas's comments on attack</h2>

The official news agency of the Palestinian Authority published comments by President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday (Oct 15) in which he criticised Hamas over its actions.&nbsp;However, later the name of the militant group was removed without providing an explanation.

The comments, which were published on the WAFA website, were made when Abbas held a phone call with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The two leaders talked about the bombardment of Gaza by Israel following the deadly rampage of Hamas through Israeli cities.&nbsp;

The militants fired guns as they crossed a security booth, which had a gunshot hole in one of its windows, and then rode into the neighbourhood where they fired into the homes of the civilians, as per the clip.&nbsp;

<h2>Video likely taken&nbsp;during attack on&nbsp;Israeli kibbutz</h2>

The gunman, who was filming the attack, shot at the shadowy figure which was seen moving inside a home through the screen door of the building and then shot a bullet in the tire of a parked ambulance.&nbsp;

The terrorists crossed a children’s playground as they reloaded and shot into the homes of the families. They broke into the home of the people where music was still playing and a tablet, phone and drinks were seen kept haphazardly on a dining table as they searched for the people.&nbsp;

The shared video appeared heavily edited and ended with the Hamas fighters outside as the air was filled by the sound of the gunfire. As a gunshot was fired, the terrorist filming the video yelled out in pain and fell to the ground. &nbsp;

Many more gunshots can be heard in the video as the gunman cries and reportedly says, “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah” in Arabic.&nbsp;

The IDF did not clarify when was the video filmed although it was taken presumably during the attack by Hamas on an Israeli kibbutz where the terrorists killed complete families on October 7.

Trigger warning: Some readers may find details of this report disturbing. Discretion is advised. Video footage was released by Israel Defence Forces which showed how a Hamas militant crossed the border into Israel and shot at the houses of innocent civilians before he was neutralised by the Israeli security forces. A three-minute clip was posted by IDF on X on Sunday along with a trigger warning. It looked like the video was captured by the body-worn camera of the militant. "RAW FOOTAGE: Hamas jihadists squad invasion and killing spree of an innocent Israeli community,” captioned the Israeli military in the video. “The filmed terrorist was neutralized by Israeli security forces," it added. In the footage, the heavily armed Hamas terrorists were seen riding on motorised bikes through an opening in the border fence which separated southern Israel from Gaza. ⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️ RAW FOOTAGE: Hamas jihadists squad invasion and killing spree of an innocent Israeli community.

Video likely taken during attack on Israeli kibbutz The gunman, who was filming the attack, shot at the shadowy figure which was seen moving inside a home through the screen door of the building and then shot a bullet in the tire of a parked ambulance. The terrorists crossed a children’s playground as they reloaded and shot into the homes of the families. They broke into the home of the people where music was still playing and a tablet, phone and drinks were seen kept haphazardly on a dining table as they searched for the people. The shared video appeared heavily edited and ended with the Hamas fighters outside as the air was filled by the sound of the gunfire. As a gunshot was fired, the terrorist filming the video yelled out in pain and fell to the ground.

The IDF did not clarify when was the video filmed although it was taken presumably during the attack by Hamas on an Israeli kibbutz where the terrorists killed complete families on October 7.
