    I read somewhere that presumably Hamas uses out of the date / primitive ways of communication to avoid being tracked online. I can’t seem to see Hamas to outperform Israel at cyber security but I can imagine them running "off network " cables via their tunnels or even using old fashion living messengers .

      It’s Hamas. When you type in “Hammas”, it makes it sound like some kind of Hummus brigade. Arabic places emphasis on double constants (where the same consonant is at the end of one syllable and at the beginning of the next) which could change the meaning of the word. In fact, I think “Hammas” in Arabic would mean “him who encourages enthusiasm”, whereas Hamas means “enthusiasm” but is also short for the Islamic Resistance Movement.
