đź§¶A civil war in Gaza? Since Sunday, October 12, armed clashes have erupted in Gaza between Hamas security forces and armed groups accused of supporting Israel. Analysis:
1/ Israel is materially and financially supporting armed groups to fragment the population in Gaza and give a Palestinian face to ethnic cleansing.
2/ Israel is thus arming armed groups close to the Islamic State, a strategy personally endorsed by Netanyahu himself .haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
3/ In June, he admitted to arming and supporting the "Popular Forces" militia in Gaza, which is reportedly close to the Islamic State
4/ The "Popular Forces" militia is one of these armed groups. This gang is led by Yasser Abu Shabab, who escaped from prison around October 7 after having been imprisoned there since 2015 on drug-related charges. This armed gang is behind the looting of food aid: liberation.fr/checknews/a-ga…
5/ An internal UN memo obtained by the Washington Post specifically named Abu Shabab "the main and most influential stakeholder behind the systematic and massive looting" in Gaza. aljazeera.com/features/2025/…
6/ A SkyNews investigation confirms that Israel used the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to supply Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces militia: news.sky.com/story/guns-cas…
7/ Since the ceasefire, Israel has used these gangs to launch attacks against Hamas in the heart of Gaza without the Israeli army needing to intervene. Israel is attempting to foment a civil war through proxy and criminal gangs to say, "We're not violating the ceasefire; it's Palestinians killing Palestinians."
8/ The Hamas Interior Ministry gave gang members until October 19 to surrender, announcing amnesty for members who surrender, except for criminals. middleeastmonitor.com/20251013-gaza-…
9/ It should also be noted that the Higher Council of Palestinian Clans in Gaza (the largest assembly of Gaza's leading families) declared its support for Hamas security forces in their quest to impose security, denouncing collaborators with Israel and calling for anyone guilty of looting, murder, or espionage to be held accountable: middleeasteye.net/news/trump-bac…
10/ While these stories of civil war are propagated, the humanitarian aid that enters Gaza is still minimal and the world is returning to its abandonment of the Gazans. Everything must be done to let in food, medical assistance, the press, to rebuild Gaza and not abandon the Gazans who are left alone to face a colonial army ready to seize the territory.
