The IDF and Shin Bet are using Gazan militias to carry out military operations in the Strip in exchange for pay and control over territory, Israeli soldiers and commanders serving in Gaza tell Haaretz
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/5
Each militia consists of dozens of men, most from prominent clans. In addition to cash payments, they're allowed to carry weapons, which lets them profit by controlling aid truck routes and charging for the right to set up tents in populated areas

🧵3/5
Although the IDF and Shin Bet manage militia activities, many commanders on the ground express concern over the consequences

"It reminds me of Sabra and Shatila," one commander said, referring to the 1982 massacre in the Beirut refugee camps where allied militias, under Israeli oversight, killed hundreds of civilians
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵5/5
"It looks like something that will eventually blow up in our faces... They aren't truly under control, and they have no obligation to the officers in the field. Tomorrow, if they massacre dozens of people, who will be held accountable?"

You can see them across the Gaza Strip, almost everywhere. Teams of people operating heavy equipment for one purpose: demolition
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/5
They aren't part of a regular military unit, but rather small groups that form through independent initiatives. They are civilians, many of them settlers, who are mobilized into the reserves through contracting companies

🧵3/5
The goal is to destroy buildings and tunnels, or in the common words of those involved: "to flatten Gaza"

Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid got a phone call this week from an Egyptian official close to President al-Sissi.

"Can you explain to me what's going on over there?" the official asked. "What are you talking about?" Lapid asked
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/6
"What you call the 'Witkoff plan' and what we call the 'Netanyahu plan,' because it was his idea from the very start – the whole idea of a partial deal was all dictated by Netanyahu," the Egyptian answered
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/6
"Witkoff presented it so it wouldn't appear that Hamas was accepting what Netanyahu is demanding"

Israel is providing weapons to a Jihadist group in Gaza affiliated with ISIS, says right-wing opposition lawmaker and former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/4
In an interview with Israel's public broadcaster, Lieberman says that, similar to how Netanyahu propped up Hamas as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority, he is now helping establish a new armed force as a counterweight to Hamas
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/4
Lieberman: "Israel gave assault rifles and small arms to crime families in Gaza on Netanyahu's orders. I doubt it went through the Security Cabinet. No one can guarantee these weapons won't eventually be turned against Israel"

Palestinian-American analyst Fouad Alkhatib's criticism of pro-Palestinian activism extends to a related, highly sensitive problem in the region itself
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/9
Targeting the NGOs that have literally kept Gaza fed and clothed throughout the years of Israel's closure since Hamas wrested control in 2007
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/9
Instead of lauding their work, Alkhatib calls them the "NGO-industrial complex": An ecosystem that has shouldered the humanitarian burden and some social services, freeing up Hamas to focus on terror

Israeli police had conditioned approval for an anti-war protest this coming Thursday in Tel Aviv on the requirement that "no images of children or babies from Gaza" be displayed, then later backtracked on the move
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/5
According to a document sent on Sunday by police to the Arab-Jewish movement @omdimbeyachad – which is organizing the protest – demonstrators were prohibited from displaying signs, posters or flags that "incite to violent or illegal activity"
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
@omdimbeyachad 🧵3/5
The document, obtained by Haaretz, also forbid participants from displaying "hostage signs" or signs bearing the phrase "genocide"

Netanyahu's spokesperson, Omer Dostri, said in an interview with Israel's Channel 12 News on Saturday night that a deal to return all hostages in one stage cannot be achieved
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/6
"I keep hearing things like 'One deal, bring them back.' At the moment, there can't be one deal since Hamas isn't saying: 'Come get your hostages and that's that,' it's demanding an end to the war," Dostri said in the interview
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/6
The spokesperson added that any statement that claims otherwise is a "spin," and said that "Bringing back everyone will bring back Hamas"
