‘The end of Hamas is close’: Khan Younis militia chief says Abu Shabab killing won’t deter struggle
2025-12-07
[IsraelTimes] Hossam al-Astal, the leader of the Strike Force Against Terror militia based out of Gaza’s Khan Younis, tells Kan radio that the killing of the leader of allied militia Abu Shabab will not deter him in his fight against Hamas.

“Hamas is trying to send people to infiltrate us, but we will reveal them quickly,” he tells Kan.

“Even though Abu Shabab was killed, there are hundreds of us in different organizations operating in the Strip. Hamas is trying to diminish our value and claim we are only dozens, but that is not the case. We will not change our ways,” he adds.

Astal insists that “the end of Hamas is close.”

Yesterday, the Israeli-backed Abu Shabab militia appeared to confirm that its namesake and commander Yasser Abu Shabab was killed last week in a gunfight with members of the Abu Sanima family. Both groups belong to the Bedouin Tarabin tribe.
