Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...button men tightened their grip in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

disproportionate response...
on Monday and Tuesday, sources in the Strip said, including carrying out public executions.
Hamas has killed at least 33 people since a ceasefire took effect on Friday in a crackdown on groups that have tested its grip, sources in the strip said, having apparently got a US nod to temporarily police the shattered enclave.
In a stark assertion of the group’s return, fighters executed several men they accused of collaborating with Israeli forces. In one video circulated late on Monday, Hamas fighters dragged seven men into a circle of people in Gaza City, forced them to their knees and shot them from behind. A Hamas source confirmed the authenticity of the video.
Gaza residents said fighters were increasingly visible on Tuesday, deploying along routes needed for aid deliveries. Paleostinian security sources say dozens of people have been killed in festivities between Hamas button men and rivals in recent days.
Although Israeli troops have withdrawn from urban areas in Gaza under the ceasefire that began last week, drone fire killed five people as they went to check on houses in a suburb east of Gaza City and an air strike killed one person and injured another near Khan Younis, Hamas-run Gaza health authorities said.
Pummeled by Israel during the war ignited by the October 7, 2023, massacre that it led, Hamas has gradually sent its operatives back into the streets of Gaza since the ceasefire began, according to two security sources in the territory.
On Monday, Hamas deployed members of its Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades military wing as it freed the last living hostages seized from Israel two years ago. It was a reminder of one of the major challenges facing US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s effort to secure a lasting deal for Gaza, as the US, Israel and many other nations demand Hamas disarm.
Rooters footage shows dozens of Hamas fighters lined up at a hospital in southern Gaza, one wearing a shoulder patch identifying him as a member of the elite "Shadow Unit" that Hamas sources say was tasked with holding hostages.
One of the Gaza sources, a security official, said that since the ceasefire, Hamas forces have killed 32 members of "a gang affiliated with a family in Gaza City," while six of its personnel had also been killed.
Later on Monday, an execution video circulating on social media appeared to show several masked button men, some of them wearing green headbands resembling ones worn by Hamas, shooting with machine guns at least seven men after forcing them to kneel in the street. Posts identified the video as filmed in Gaza on Monday. Civilian spectators cheered "Allah Akbar," or God is Great, and called those killed "collaborators."
Rooters could not immediately verify the events of the video, its date or location. There was no immediate response from Hamas.
Last month, Hamas-led authorities said they executed three men accused of collaborating with Israel. The video of the public killing was shared on social media.
TEMPORARY POLICE?
Trump’s plan foresees Hamas out of power in a demilitarized Gaza run by a Paleostinian committee under international supervision. It calls for the deployment of an international stabilization mission that will train and support a Paleostinian police force.
But Trump, speaking on his way to the Middle East on Sunday, suggested Hamas had been given a temporary green light to police Gaza.
"They do want to stop the problems, and they’ve been open about it, and we gave them approval for a period of time," he said, responding to a journalist’s question about reports that Hamas was shooting rivals and instituting itself as a police force.
"You have close to 2 million people going back to buildings that have been demolished, and a lot of bad things can happen. So we want it to be, we want it to be safe. I think it’s going to be fine. Who knows for sure," Trump said.
