Osama Hamdan, the top representative of Hamas in Lebanon
The Hamas organization has a permanent and established presence in Lebanon.[1][2] The presence gained prominence following the announcement of the formation of the Al-Aqsa Flood Vanguards unit by Hamas in Beirut in 2023.[3]
According to Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) Leader Gebran Bassil, Hamas's establishment in Lebanon raised concerns about Lebanon's sovereignty and stability.[4][5][6]
