Yasser Abu Shabab

They've actually now formally expelled Palestinians from their homes and carried out operations against Gaza.

Many people were focusing on the likes of Yasser Abu Shabab in Gaza.

And since he was killed by the Palestinian resistance, perhaps felt that these collaborative gangs have decreased in their operations, but not so according to this report.

The Israelis have at least five militia groups and potentially a sixth operating from heavily fortified bases inside the Israeli-occupied areas of the enclave.

On the Gaza front, new details have emerged regarding Israel's long-term strategy to counter Hamas.

According to jpost.com, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly confirmed in 2025 a policy, managed by the Shin Bet, to support local Gaza gangs, such as those linked to boss Yasser Abu Shabab.

The objective is to build internal opposition to Hamas, aiming to foster a challenge from within the Strip.

Jpost.com notes that while U.S.-backed plans for Gaza's rebuilding and gradual Israeli withdrawals have seen delays due to political considerations, Hamas continues its slow growth, though the IDF maintains its capability to strike key commanders.

Um, And that also there needs to be a disarmament of the powerful families, the clans, the Hamulas, the tribes in Gaza.

I'm not talking about the clans that are the small number of tribes that might have worked with Israel, the Abu Shabab area and the southern Gaza.

These are clans that formed a militia against Hamas.

I'm talking about Gaza.
