At the beginning, Hamas refused to cooperate with Israel, meanwhile the military conflict between the two sides did not stop. As the epidemic intensified, Hamas released a signal to ask for cooperation with Israel, and then Israel modified the conditions of cooperation which enable achieved the first phase cooperation. Previously, cooperation between Hamas and Israel was very rare.
