Important: Israel is NOT arming criminal gangs to "challenge Hamas"

300 untrained drug dealers & criminals can't overpower Hamas' 30,000 militants

Israel has been using those ISIS-linked gangs to indirectly maintain its starvation of Gaza & to outsource other dirty work to them

Every time the world pressures Israel to allow aid into Gaza, Israel unleashes those gangs in Rafah & Khan Younis to loot all the aid going in, so that the IDF can claim "look we're letting food in, it's not our fault people are starving"

Israel has also been using those criminal gangs to carry out activities the IDF deems dangerous for its soldiers (e.g. sweeping areas, inspecting boobytrapped neighbourhoods, recon missions, surveillance, espionage, protect GHF facilities & interact with aid seekers).

And now, Israel is using those gangs to establish concentration camps with a "Palestinian face" to bait & lure starving Gazans to move to Eastern Rafah (Egypt's borders) with a promise of safety & food. Gazans wouldn't trust to live in such a camp surrounded by IDF soldiers, so Israel created this new puppet "security force" out of the criminal gangs to run those camps instead.

What's next for Gaza? 🧵
After the hostage release, Israel will hold onto a fully depopulated 58% of Gaza.

After an international force enters, Israel will hold onto 40% of Gaza where the IDF's proxy gangs will thrive!

Genocide or reconstruction? The devil is in the details! Image
2\ Right now, the 58% beyond the yellow line is not only under IDF control, it's fully depopulated. Any Gaza civilian that tries to enter is shot on sight. Israel killed 35 Gazans in the first 24 hours of the ceasefire.

Israel is planning to hold onto those areas for a long time Image
3\ Israel's proxy gangs (e.g. Abu Shabab, Husam al-Astal, Ashraf Mansi) are all currently hiding in the 58% of Gaza the IDF is stationed in

Israel cultivated those gangs to create "gated communities" (concentration camps) to push Gazans into.

Now with the ceasefire, Israel is using those gangs to launch attacks on Hamas deep inside Gaza without the IDF having to invade.

This is Israel's way of saying "we're not violating the ceasefire, it's Palestinians killing Palestinians."

Israel will also try to get Gazans to move into those areas with promises of a better life while the other half of Gaza remains reduced to rubble.

This plan is significantly better than previous Trump proposals (e.g. no ethnic cleansing, abolishing GHF, no occupation or annexation, decommissioning not disarmament...)

Yet it's filled with negatives, explosive mines & loopholes that'd allow Netanyahu to occupy Gaza forever🧵
2\ Positives:
The infamous GHF would be abolished since the plan says aid will only be distributed by groups "not associated in any manner with either party" (GHF is an IDF front).

Full suspension of "all military operations" (e.g. bombing) & immediate end to the war
3\ Trump's plan now talks about decommissioning instead of disarmament. There's a major difference; the latter connotes surrender, whereas decommissioning is gradual, tied to a political process & includes reintegration of militants into security sector

🚨🚨Israel created a new proxy gang run by a fugitive murderer, drug dealer, fraudster & longtime collaborator Husam Abdel-Majid Al-Astal

This gang is currently based in Khan Younis as an extension of Israel's ISIS-linked Abu Shabab gang in Rafah🧵 Image
Image
2\ Al-Astal is an disgraced former member of the Palestinian Authority's security forces

He's responsible for the murder of Fadi Al-Batsh in Malaysia in 2018 on behalf of Israel

He fled to Egypt after & was apprehended there & deported to Gaza in 2022 on fraud & drug-related offences
3\ Al-Astal was detained in Gaza upon his deportation from Egypt in 2022

Interrogations revealed he's been collaborating with Israel since 1996 & carried out a number of operations on their orders

His neighbours corroborated his arrest in Egypt for drugs

🚨Meet Israel's most dystopian weapon used to terrorize Gazans into fleeing south:

APC vehicles repurposed into robotic giant bombs

Israel's army has been swarming Gaza city with those APCs to indiscriminately barrel bomb overcrowded neighbourhoods & create chaos🧵 Image
Image
2\ Since the start of the genocide, Israel has been extensively using those giant robotic bombs intensively all throughout Gaza

They are remote-controlled M113 armored personnel carriers packed with explosives or barrel bombs, sent into an area & detonated from afar Image
3\ Israel has recently tripled its use of robotic explosive APCs against Gaza's civilian population.

Two weeks ago, Israeli soldiers reported hundreds of robotic APCs were moved towards Gaza city

Israel is now using them to blow up homes or busy areas to create panic Image

The US & Israel are the ones who asked Qatar to host Hamas' political (NOT military) leadership to maintain indirect dialogue with them

When Qatar asked Hamas' leadership to leave in Nov 2024 & suspended their office in Doha, Trump asked them to reopen it again & re-host Hamas🧵
2\ Netanyahu just broke this arrangement & bombed Doha to target Hamas negotiators in the midst of their discussion of Trump's latest ceasefire proposal

In March 2025, Netanyahu killed Hamas entire negotiating team in Gaza (e.g. Salah Bardawil, Essam Da'alees, Ismael Barhoum, Abu Obaida al-Jimassi)
3\ Netanyahu killed Hamas' negotiating team inside Gaza in March 2025 while they were discussing Witkoff's proposal to extend the ceasefire

Similarly, Israel killed Hamas' top negotiator Ismael Haniya in July 2024 right after he accepted Biden's ceasefire/prisoner swap proposal

Israel's single most indispensable weapon of genocide (100% funded by the American public)🧵

Texas-made D9 Caterpillar bulldozers

Most of Israel's destruction of Gaza is not done by airstrikes or artillery, but rather by those D9s1

That's why Norway divested from Caterpillar Image
Image
2\ Israelis call D9 bulldozers "the flattener of Gaza"

A single D9 can destroy a whole house in an hour; with greater efficacy & cheaper costs than bombs or airstrikes

Without those D9s, Israel's destruction of Gaza would become slower & more difficult
972mag.com/israel-gaza-to…Image
3\ The flattening of Gaza by Caterpillar D9 bulldozers is carried out by Israeli settlers (especially the terrorist hilltop youth)

The IDF uses multiple contractors, like Uriah Loberbom, Mshek Afar, Libi Construction & Infrastructure

They get paid over $1,500 per destroyed home Image
