Yep...Hamas is Isis is Al-Qaeda is Hamas.

I'd speculate that his mask is being used to keep Israel from identifying him and targeting his house as has occurred several times in the past couple of days to other Hamas military figures. Our Delta Force and Seal Team guys also conceal their identities for much the same reason (to protect their families).
In contrast to Al Qaeda and ISIS, Hamas does indeed have legitimate grievances despite their loathsome and self-defeating tactics. Sharing tactics doesn't automatically render groups identical. If so, the US government would be the same as the Japanese Imperial Army for their use of waterboarding.
However, if continuing to conflate ISIS and Hamas makes you feel better about Israel's tactics in Gaza, have at it.
