The fictional series “Fist of the Free” created by Hamas offers a glimpse into a major attack planned by the group in an attempt to change the rules of the game. Inspired as a response to the popular Israeli series “Fauda,” the show depicts a scenario where Hamas launches a series of attacks on Israel, mirroring real-life events that took place later.
The series, broadcast during Ramadan in 2022, showcases the preparations and execution of the operation by Hamas fighters. Despite its low-budget production and amateur actors, the show provides insights into the mindset and strategies of Palestinian militants.
With dramatic scenes and nods to real-life events, “Fist of the Free” highlights the family-centric approach to resistance and the unwavering belief in victory. While some elements may seem prophetic in light of later attacks, the series serves as a propaganda tool to counter the narrative portrayed in Israeli media.
Through its portrayal of the conflict from the Palestinian perspective, “Fist of the Free” sheds light on the motivations and tactics of Hamas in their ongoing struggle against Israeli occupation.
