This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.
The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.
Powerful local families and armed gangs – including some anti-Hamas factions backed by Israel – stepped into the void. Many are accused of hijacking humanitarian aid and selling it for profit, contributing to Gaza’s starvation crisis.
Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza’s private truckers union, said Hamas was acting against gangs that had terrorised people in areas controlled by Israel.
“Those gangs looted aid and killed people under the protection of the [Israeli] occupation,” he told The Associated Press, saying they operated in so-called red zones where Israel had ordered people to evacuate. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.
[…]
Residents of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said the gang, led by Hussam Doghmush, was known to loot aid convoys and rob abandoned homes in areas controlled by the Israeli military. They said Doghmush was among some two dozen people killed in the clashes with Hamas, including a local journalist and a son of a senior Hamas official based outside Gaza.
Hamas-linked Telegram channels said Hamas had targeted “collaborators and traitors” working with Israel. The Hamas-run Sahm security force, which says it targets looters and other criminals, shared footage that appeared to show its forces killing eight people execution-style in the streets as people cheered. It said the detainees were gangsters.
“Could now threaten the ceasefire”
Lol, yeah sure. This is what will do it im sure. Nothing else at all…
By the way, for those that actually read the article you’ll notice it’s super interesting the parts that OP quoted there and the parts that he left out.
Nobody batted an eye when Israel killed 5 Palestinians a day or two ago
OP is a zionazi piece of shit and they have an agenda to spread. They will always quote shit out of context.
You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?
I dunno, but I’m pretty sure the right option is not public executions without due process perpetrated by a bunch of religious extremist nutjobs hours after ironically fascist nutjobs stopped publicly executing civilians without due process only they didn’t actually stop.
Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that
SO just murder people at random? Great!
Lol seriously. It’s things like this that put me off this site. It’s unhinged. If any other state executed people in the streets without due process these same people would be up in arms, calling them fascists. But Hamas do it and it’s all good. I’m convinced some users here see any criticism of Hamas as meaning that it’s a show of support for the IDF/Israel.
Factly this. Hamas are, morally, as bad as the IDF, they WANT to do to Israelis what Israel has been doing to Palestinians, they just din’t have backing fro the the US and the west so they CAN’T. This is in no way supporting or excusing the IDF, it’s just not supporting or excusing Hamas either!
No, fuck anybody who support the state comiting the genocide.
Who said I supported any state comitting genocide?
Would you have opposed the execution of Nazi collaborators?
Do you approve of executing accused people without actually proving that they’re guilty of being accused of first?
Netenyahu admitted that he is using gangs that was involved in the stealing of food and helping them in the genocide.
That doesn’t mean people should be executed because they’re suspected of something, their guilt needs to be proved first.
Nearly all of those executions were carried out with due process.
I don’t support public executions of anyone.
I can’t tell people who was stripped from all justice for 77 years about how to deal with the collaborators helping the enemy in a genocide. You can ask for holding Hamas accountable once justice is restored, the occupation end and Israeli leaders are held accountable too
No. I will not excuse Hamas being fucking awful for one second just because the IDF have been being fucking awful for a long time!
Yeah, it’s a fucked situation; personally I don’t think masked men shooting blindfolded and bound people in the public square is the best solution, but you’re right that it’s not my place to decide.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with forming opinions and considering alternatives though.
Fucking dumb question
Oh, of course, Hamas should just turn them into the police. Silly me. Oi Hamas, this Britbong bloke says you ought to call the fuzz!
Cool story, still extrajudicial slaughter.
EDIT: Oh right, you’re from .ml so obviously you support fascism when it’s for your team. I should’ve known.
Fantastic, my dude, good luck defeating the “Hamas fascists”, and the 85% of the world population that supports their actions. You’ve done a great job by sitting on your ass while a genocide is committed so far. Anything else? 🤨🎤🗑️
Can’t attack my argument so you attack a fictitious version of me instead. You clearly hold the moral high ground here /s
Also lmao at “85% of the world supports public executions and beheadings” you absolute psychopath xD
Maybe you’ll try harder on your next account.
oh no, it’s someone with two accounts on two of the largest servers for the two main pieces of software mimicking Reddit! what a scandal!
What a fantastically dumb statement. Well done.
Please. There’s never been an anti-colonial movement where collaborators weren’t punished harshly. Nelson Mandela’s ANC executed collaborators in famously brutal fashion.
And that makes it fine for a bunch of religious extremists to murder people in the streets?
bunch of religious extremists to murder people in the streets
The IDF was involved???
What a dumb comment
Yes, that’s usually how you deal with collaborators and snitches when you’re at war with a much larger enemy. I don’t see what their religion has to do with it, Hamas is a nationalist anti-colonial movement, not an Islamist one.
Their reason for existence is to do to Israel what Israel has been doing to Palestine, they just don;t have the backing and resources to do so. Hamas deserve not one iota more respect or forgiveness than the IDF. The innocent Palestinians getting fucked over six ways from Sunday in the middle are where sympathy goes, don’t mistake them for Hamas any more than you mistake the Israeli government for Jews worldwide
Hamas wouldn’t need to exist if Israel ended their apartheid and genocide of Palestinians. There is no “both sides” here.
Not relevant
They’re the Resistance Française of Gaza, except the (new) NAZIs occupying their land have been there for 7 decades instead of a mere half a decade (plus this time around Britain and the US are part of the Axis alongside the NAZIs), hence their actions are more desperate.
Remembers those WWII films were the Resistance Française, when they caught them dished deadly justice to filthy French Colaborationists that had helped the evil NAZIs either by snitching others to them or even by acting as an auxiliary militia for the occupying NAZI forces? Remember cheering for the Resistance and feeling righteous justice from them dealing with the people who were so evil that they betrayed their own neighbours and even families to the NAZIs?
Morally this is exactly the same situation.
Nazi is not an acronym, it doesn’t need to be capitalised like that. Also this isn’t a film, this is religious nutjobs murdering people (possibly at random or for dubious reasons) in retaliation for fascist nutjobs murdering people (definitely at random and for dubious reasons).
Liberals when the Zionists kill civillians and label them terrorists: “Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists”
Liberals when Hamas acturally kills terrorists except they’re backed by the GDF: “Wahhh this is a violation of international law which I suddenly care about now”
I don’t consider myself a liberal, but personally I would prefer everyone to stop killing each other. Such a waste of life.
These people are guilty of terrorism, murder, rape, theft of critical supplies during a genocide, complicity in genocide, and collaboration with the Zionists. What are they supposed to just apologize and everyone moves on?
I don’t know, send them to the hague or something. I think spontaneous extrajudicial executions in the public square aren’t going to help the people of Gaza feel safe, but maybe I’m projecting.
What an absolute joke, send them to the Hauge? What are they gonna do, tell them with very strong words that they’re disappointed? International law isnt real, international courts don’t really exist, it is the job of Gaza to make sure that their criminals face justice.
The Hague is a joke which should be closed. International law is dead and the West killed it.
I do consider myself something that many on Lemmy would call a shitlib (I’m a socdem basically) and I concur. Would be nice if people stopped killing each other, regardless of who’s doing it to who.
This seems like Israeli propaganda. Are they allowing impartial journalists into Palestine? Israel killed over 250 journalists.
It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven’t spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - “look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all”.
The media cheered on Israel bombing a hospital and killing 20 people because there might have been a “Khamaas camera!”. (there was not, it was a journalist camera)
But suddenly they start talking about due process and law when Palestinians execute Israeli collaborators.
Vietcong executed collaborators and most people today don’t deny that they was still a resistance group
The difference between resistance and terrorist is only who wins in the end.
Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.
The word “legitimate” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, bro.
Who is the legitimate governing body in Gaza, if not Hamas, bro?
Maybe there isn’t one…
Whoa dude. Deep.
Oh, it’s Hamas that’s threatening peace? I seem to understand that Israel is already ahead of the game on that. Sigh.
Same game, different team. Never was about freeing Palestinians from Hamas or IDF. Civilians are just meat for them to express emotion through violence.
How does Hamas executing Israeli collaborators threaten a ceasefire exactly?
In this conflict it is only a matter of time until the ceasefire is broken. Anything could be used as a cause.
I think you’re right on your first sentence. Second one is entirely superfluous; and doesn’t have substance in support for the question.

Your antisemitism is active support of Israel. Not all Israelis are Jews and even more importantly not all Jews are Israelis. Antisemitism is the biggest argument for Zionism. As in if Jews are hated by everybody else, they need to have their own country to live without hatred.

we have absolutely zero concept of what its like to live in a wartorn bombed out, active warzone. we can assume Hamas is awful, but this article paints Palestinians we the same brush. uhm. the civilians in this genocide don’t have the privilege of “options” . this article is for westerners only who get manipulated to believe things. The probably sourced 3 propoganda tiktok videos as “some palestinians”
Hamas is awful based on what exactly? It is a government like any government with the extra of being in the largest open prison since they got elected…
are you for real, or just ignorant? a “government” that tortures, kills, represses its citizens…
oh wait, thats us.
Ah yes, murdering and raping 1200 people in a matter of hours is nowhere near awful…
You are right only when you read news from the genocide entity who failed to even produce any credible evidence of systemic rape, then we find out they killed their own out right and then we find a long list of documented rape of Palestinian in prisons…
Edit: I am surprise how you didn’t add “beheaded babies” and “babies in oven” …
I don’t spread misinformation unlike certain people. The baby thing was a myth perpetuated by the media. I didn’t say “systemic” rape. I said rape. I saw videos with my own eyes of them raping several girls before they ultimately killed them. If you say that they’re not awful, you’re fucking ignorant.
I saw videos with my own eyes of them raping several girls before they ultimately killed them.
You should send the video to all news papers and the IJC because that’s must be the evidence that everyone is looking for.
It’s pure racism. Decades of propaganda has trained people to see violence by Muslims as different from violence from other groups. People here have no issue with Ukraine torturing and executing Russian collaborators, but when Arabs do it they’re seen as violent savages who’ve been hypnotized into ultra-violence by their primitive religion.
The only mention of torture on that page is Ukraine killing someone involved with torture. Do you have a wiki page that talks about the torture done by Ukraine in detail?
Here’s the article from Amnesty on the issue. It’s from 2016 so the situation has obviously changed since then, but I doubt they’ve become more squeamish about torturing Russians especially with how widespread Russia’s own use of torture has been.
Which ‘race’ is muslim?
Do you believe all Arabs have the same or a religion?
I’m not sure what you’re asking, but the average American racist for sure thinks all Arabs are Muslim. Usually their Islamophobia is actually anti-Arab racism, as they aren’t nearly as bigoted towards Indonesian or Chinese Muslims.
Ok thanks! Just that your post seemed to imply that they were mostly against muslims/islam
