Ein al-Hilweh, Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee community, has seen a surge in Hamas recruitment, reflecting a new sense of exuberance and hope among residents as they support ongoing conflict with Israel.
According to Hamas and Lebanese officials, hundreds of new recruits have joined Hamas in recent months, highlighting a new enthusiasm among Palestinian refugees despite the ongoing violence and hardship they endure.
Ayman Shanaa, the Hamas chief for the region, noted, 'It’s true that our weapons cannot match our enemy’s, but our people are resilient and they support the resistance. And are joining us.'
Despite a growing sentiment against Hamas in the Gaza Strip after many casualties from the war, the group's willingness to fight Israel has garnered new supporters among those in Beirut’s refugee camps.
