This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.

The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.

    Liberals when the Zionists kill civillians and label them terrorists: “Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists”

    Liberals when Hamas acturally kills terrorists except they’re backed by the GDF: “Wahhh this is a violation of international law which I suddenly care about now”

      I don’t consider myself a liberal, but personally I would prefer everyone to stop killing each other. Such a waste of life.

    Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.

    Oh my gorsh! They have got to be fucking retarded!

    Like this super power invades and destroys your entire country so you can release hostages, and when this super power stops you still want more? How stupid do you have to be? They have to have skulls 9 inches thick!

    I just hope the Palestinians eat to recover their strength and then go after the religious crazy.

      You are completely wrong.

      1. super power was not trying to get the hostages the were accelerating the genocide.

      2. There is nothing wrong of killing traitor who steal and collaborate with the genociders.

    Powerful local families and armed gangs – including some anti-Hamas factions backed by Israel – stepped into the void. Many are accused of hijacking humanitarian aid and selling it for profit, contributing to Gaza’s starvation crisis.

    Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza’s private truckers union, said Hamas was acting against gangs that had terrorised people in areas controlled by Israel.

    “Those gangs looted aid and killed people under the protection of the [Israeli] occupation,” he told The Associated Press, saying they operated in so-called red zones where Israel had ordered people to evacuate. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.

    […]

    Residents of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said the gang, led by Hussam Doghmush, was known to loot aid convoys and rob abandoned homes in areas controlled by the Israeli military. They said Doghmush was among some two dozen people killed in the clashes with Hamas, including a local journalist and a son of a senior Hamas official based outside Gaza.

    Hamas-linked Telegram channels said Hamas had targeted “collaborators and traitors” working with Israel. The Hamas-run Sahm security force, which says it targets looters and other criminals, shared footage that appeared to show its forces killing eight people execution-style in the streets as people cheered. It said the detainees were gangsters.

    Ignoring that the IDF killed 6 people yesterday during this “ceasefire” -_-

    Jesus christ why can’t Hamas and the Zionist party just trade for each others leaderships so they can be executed and we can move past these old fucking religious extremists who keep us busy killing each other?

    FFS I hate what religion enables us to do to each other.

    “Could now threaten the ceasefire”

    Lol, yeah sure. This is what will do it im sure. Nothing else at all…

    By the way, for those that actually read the article you’ll notice it’s super interesting the parts that OP quoted there and the parts that he left out.

      I dunno, but I’m pretty sure the right option is not public executions without due process perpetrated by a bunch of religious extremist nutjobs hours after ironically fascist nutjobs stopped publicly executing civilians without due process only they didn’t actually stop.

            Lol seriously. It’s things like this that put me off this site. It’s unhinged. If any other state executed people in the streets without due process these same people would be up in arms, calling them fascists. But Hamas do it and it’s all good. I’m convinced some users here see any criticism of Hamas as meaning that it’s a show of support for the IDF/Israel.

              Nearly all of those executions were carried out with due process.

              I don’t support public executions of anyone.

        Please. There’s never been an anti-colonial movement where collaborators weren’t punished harshly. Nelson Mandela’s ANC executed collaborators in famously brutal fashion.

            Fantastic, my dude, good luck defeating the “Hamas fascists”, and the 85% of the world population that supports their actions. You’ve done a great job by sitting on your ass while a genocide is committed so far. Anything else? 🤨🎤🗑️

    Same game, different team. Never was about freeing Palestinians from Hamas or IDF. Civilians are just meat for them to express emotion through violence.
