Israel-backed militia groups potentially threaten new peace plan for Gaza | Gaza
Armed militias and gangs supported by Israel take control of the parts of Gaza, worse the human crisis, and threaten US President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring order if Gaza plan continues.
Israeli military and security services for a few months as local assistant forces in Gaza and as an alternative to Hamas armament and training groups. However, the strategy seems to have gained momentum in recent weeks.
The popular forces under a commander named Yasser Abu Shabab operate in the south of the region for several months and closely coordinates with Israeli forces around the controversial aid distribution managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a special organization with opaque and Israeli.
Now, in addition to popular powers, a dozen new militia has emerged in most Gaza.
“People are afraid of Hamas here and Hamas would always bet that there would be no alternative to change them in Gaza, but now I tell you that there is an alternative force for Hamas.
“Sorry, if it helps me to protect my city, I will work with the devil itself. [Hamas] He should leave Gaza, Al Al-Auttal said to Guardian last week.
The proliferation of armed militias in Gaza creates more problems for aid organizations struggling with Israeli restrictions and major logistics obstacles.
An official with a large aid agency operating in Gaza said that they did not hear from the actual authority – – a veil for Hamas – since March and now dealing with “diversity of different actors ..
“There is no responsible person in the north, there are really strong families in the central region and some small informal militias… and you have officially officially recruited Israeli customers who bought weapons from the Israeli army in the South.” “The law and order are worsening, the social fabric is disintegrated, and people are really desperate and becoming everyone in the mode of survival and for themselves.”
Such armed groups have a record of pushing to pay looting or protection payments, as well as other Palestinians living in Gaza and other Palestinians living in Gaza.
One Last reportThe independent conflict monitor ACLED said that since October 2023, more than 220 “in -Palestinian violence events that have resulted in 400 Palestinian deaths”. Among the victims were police officers, clans and gang leaders, thieves, anti -Hamas activists, individuals accused of cooperating with Israel, and merchants accused of emphasis.
In the report, “gangs, clans and armed groups have become widespread by assistance, theft and violent activities,” he said.
The Israeli forces systematically targeted the local police officers and officials who came to power in Gaza in 2007 and managed the internal ministry of the region as a part of Hamas.
The Israeli attack in Gaza killed more than 66,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and ruined most of the region. In August, famine was announced in some parts of Northern Gaza.
Hamas tried to fight against gangs and militias and formed special units targeting looters and collaborators. In June, Hamas reportedly killed 50 fighters of popular forces. A Palestinian analyst ambushed a group of militia man in the north of Gaza two weeks ago and killed a few. Hamas’s “collaborators” also have regular reports of public executions.
50 -year -old Astal rejected Israel’s direct support and said that his pregnant daughter and many relatives were killed by Israeli air strikes, proved that this was not a “collaborator ..
“We don’t fight Hamas for Israel, but for ourselves… Today, I have the opportunity, so I have to take it.
Israel Times reported This Astal worked in Israel for years before the Palestinian authority, which was forced by Gaza when the Islamic militant organization was brought to power in 2007. He was then imprisoned by Hamas many times.
It is unclear how many armed mans Astal can deploy, and Abu Shabab’s popular forces are thought to only contain less warriors. In the Eastern Gaza City and around Nuseirat, other armed groups with so -called “central camps olur are sometimes only one dozen or more powerful reports.
A former General and National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror said last week that Israel could benefit from divisions to build forces that would oppose Hamas in Gaza community. One possibility would be to support the great families against their parents or their grandmother in 1948, when the original inhabitants of the region had to flee what has become Israel and have become Israel.
“Local people can be strong people and can take control of their fields, families or tribes, and they cannot allow Hamas to be there, and then support them, and if they can be part of the solution [that’s] Great… Even worse, it will be like Somalia if it gets worse… Nobody will be under control. It will be bad for Israel, but it will be better than having Hamas. ”
In accordance with Trump’s 20 -point Gaza on Monday, a Technocratic Council will manage the region and “The Temporary International Stability Power ”will probably consist of troops consisting of troops provided by the regional forces.
Analysts warned that strengthening like Astal’s in a very broken society can accelerate internal conflict and strengthen criminal elements.
“They can turn into bandits that increase without a strict supervision, rather than reducing instability,” he wrote. Neomi Neumann, He is an assistant man at the Washington Institute and former president of Israeli Domestic Security Service Shin Bet earlier this year.
Astal said he was not afraid of Hamas, who condemned him to death.
“They are trying to download me and I know that, but I don’t care… People are afraid of Hamas here, and Hamas always bets that there would be no alternative to change them in Gaza, but now I’m saying that there is an alternative force for Hamas. Today, I or someone else, but today there are alternatives,” he said.
The war was triggered by attacks on October 7, 2023 that militants killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians and had 251 hostages in Gaza, where approximately 20 of them were alive.
