Hamas
Description
Hamas surges as a militant group commanding the al-Watan newspaper from Palestinian flashpoints like Hebron and Ramallah, its presses fueling propaganda that provokes Israeli retaliation. Armed F-15s roar from Hatzerim bases, Apaches hover with Hellfires locked, targeting these nerve centers on Erev Yom Kippur's knife-edge. Ties to bomber Abdul Mujeeb's C-4 explosives amplify their threat, thrusting them into Situation Room crosshairs as Leo and Nancy scramble for diplomatic off-ramps amid Egypt's summit threats.
