Jihad means going on a war of conquest. Hamas is seen as self defense against invaders...besides, I am not sure Hamas is Shia.

In practical terms, this difference between the Shia and the Sunnis means the Shia are explicitly required to leave you alone if you leave them alone. But the Sunnis may be called on to "Jihad" should some Imam feel like it.
