A target, a sign of resistance, a badge of honor, a Nazi-era symbol — the inverted red triangle means many things to many people.
The upside-down triangle appeared in videos released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, to mark potential Israeli military targets, such as tanks, shortly after the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
The European Union as well as the United States, Germany and several other countries classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. Following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, the German interior minister outlawed all activities of the group in Germany.
