Another Set of Terrorists Surging up in Gaza
Small armed anti-Hamas resistance groups are emerging in Gaza, recent reports indicate.
Regional media is taking notice of the groups, including in the Gulf, where the official line is that Hamas should not play a role in Gaza. In the UAE, Al-Ain media has a report on September 20 noting “Small armed groups are emerging in Gaza, but the crisis is much bigger: There is a local, regional, and international consensus in the Gaza Strip that Hamas cannot be part of any future solution for the Strip.”
This builds on previous reports that at least one armed group is backed by Israel and has a foothold against Hamas in Gaza.
Shabab was said to be part of a large Bedouin tribe, and reports at The New Arab accused him of setting up “collaborator villages” in southern Gaza. This is part of the terminology that one must wade through in discussing these armed groups. Are they “collaborators” with Israel, or tribesmen, or anti-Hamas groups with wide appeal?
