How Israel is pitting Palestinian clans in Gaza against Hamas

Jerusalem – While Israel tries to consume Hamas from Gaza, it strengthens the militias managed by the enemies of the Palestinian group, and provides military support to provide them as an alternative to the ENCLAVE rule of Hamas.

The policy seems to be extending until the end of last year, when Israel aims at the local police forces in Gaza and that any government organization in Gaza justifies Hamas; The result was chaos in some parts of the lane.

In the next security gap, a 32 -year -old Palestinian tribe, Yaser Abu Shabab, appeared with about 100 clans to control the aid ways near the KEREM Shalom transition, a critical aid channel on the gas border of Israel.

Charitable organizations accuse groups such as Abu Shabab of looting looting convoys, ties with pro -extreme groups and intensifying famine in Gaza.

In May, Jonathan Whitall, Director of Human Affairs Coordination Office of the UN in the occupied regions, said in a news briefing that “the gangs of crime under the observation of Israeli forces” “Kerem Shahalom is allowed to operate in closeness to the border crossing”.

A month later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that after the security officers’ advice, the government “activated” to work against Hamas in Gaza.

“What’s bad about it?” He said in a video statement. “Only good and only Israeli saves the lives of the defense forces soldiers.”

Since then, Abu Shabab described his group as “popular powers .. Shortly after Netanyahu’s address, Abu Shabab published an statement that he denied to buy any weapons from Israel. However, other tasks, which initiated the security and aid operations of the group, show that the Israeli army is working in areas under full control, and the reports of the Israeli media received Kalashnikov rifles from the army.

Abu Shabab’s group may be the first person to announce him in Gaza, but activists, other militias operating in various parts of the strip in compliance with the Israeli army emerged.

One of the most prominent examples is directed by Husse Husse Al-Astal, who is accused of cooperating with his colleagues in the Palestinian authority, an old officer in the security service of the Palestinian authority and assassinating a senior HAMAS official in Malaysia in the 1990s and assassinating a senior HAMAS official in Malaysia.

The group, which calls him “strike power against terror, strengthened his control over Qizan al-Najjar, a village in the south of Rafah, which he described as a paradise for those who opposed Hamas.

“We don’t have a war in my region today,” Astal said in a telephone conversation on Friday, that others are expected to come and everyone entering the region was supervised for vineyards with Hamas.

“If you come here, you’ll see children playing. Water, electricity, we have security.”

Astal announced that Hamas announced that Hamas would end the war that began when Hamas forces occupied Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas agreed to release the hostages and to greatly abandon his administration role in Gaza, which he had controlled since 2007.

In a video released in September, Al-Auttal promises to pay $ 50 to anyone who killed a Hamas fighter.

“Every Hamas member I personally throw into the garbage pile. Hamas’s rule is over, or he says.

On Friday, when Al-Auttal’s group attacked a neighborhood in Khan Yunis in Khan Yunis, to arrest the members of a leading clan accused of cooperating with Israel, he joined one of the most bloody examples of Palestinian fighting in Enklav.

Local sources say five clans were killed in the next fire department. El-Astal said that their forces struggled to Hamas using our special methods ”. He did not explain what these methods were, but the Israeli army released images showing that he was targeting Hamas militants, which he said he had attacked a neighborhood in Khan Yunis on Friday; Then he said he killed 20 armed people.

Reports on social media said that 11 Hamas members were killed and their bodies were dragged on the streets of Khan Yunis. A video shot by local activists and published on the messaging application Telegram stands on bloody bodies lined up side by side.

The Palestinians continue to flee to the Southern Regions on October 3 with Israeli air strikes and land attacks in Gaza Strip.

For the first time, Israel did not try to create alternative governance structures in Palestinian communities. Between 1978 and 1984, he founded the Villaes League, which aims to eliminate the influence of the Palestinian Liberation Organization by relying on the leading Palestinians, and gave them incentives in exchange for cooperation as a more flexible authority. The initiative failed.

At the same time, Israel strengthened Palestinian Islamist groups, including Hamas, and hoped that they would serve as weight against secular Palestinian factions.

To be seen as cooperation with Israel continues to be a black trace in the Palestinian society. Both Abu Shabab’s families and Al-Astal published statements that left them.

Al-Auttal refused to be described as a traitor by saying that family members were killed by Israeli bombs, including his sister. However, water does not take the secret of what he calls the Israeli army, which he receives, and his military equipment.

“Hamas says I am a traitor because I coordinate with Israel,” he said.

“What do you think I coordinate? How do you evacuate someone who is sick; how to provide food, water and services.”

All clans were not open to Israel’s decisions.

Last month, Nizar Dughmush, the president of a leading tribe in Gaza City, said that a militant claiming that it was an intermediary from the Israeli army.

Dughmush, “Israelis from a humanitarian region in the city of Gaza, they want our responsibility, we need to hire most of our family members as much as possible and weapons, food and shelter will provide logistics support,” he said.

However, Dughmush rejected their proposals, saying that their family is civilian and that they are not interested in being “occupation tools, even if they were not affiliated with Hamas.

Two days later, Dughmush said that Israeli fighter planes began to hit the neighborhood of the tribe and began to kill more than 100 members of the clan. Dughmush claims that the Israeli forces entered the neighborhood after 48 hours and systematically destroyed each house.

“All this is revenge for us because we refused to cooperate,” he said. The other two clans, Dayri and Bakr were approached in a similar way and attacked their fields after rejecting Israel’s proposal.

Dughmush, “I am talking to you as a displaced person now, with the rest of my clan, we all spread to different parts of Gaza,” he said.

Al-Auttal, who has seen himself as the enemy of Hamas for a long time, apologteetics in his elections he deemed necessary in Gaza after Hamas.

“There is no room for Hamas here,” he said.

“We are our new management and we will come.”
