Israel's secret militias offensive: power struggle against Hamas in the Gaza Strip!

Gazastreifen, Palästinensische Gebiete - Israel has confirmed the support of local militias in the Gaza Strip to fight the Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that this step takes place on the advice of rank -high security officers and the cooperation groups described as Palestinian clans who stand against Hamas. In particular, a newly educated group led by Yasser Abu Shabab has attracted attention. This militia has 100 to 300 members and may receive support in the form of weapons from the Israeli military. Netanyahu sees a positive contribution to the security of Israeli soldiers in this measure.

Avigdor Lieberman, an opposy politician, has criticized the distribution of weapons as "complete madness" and warns of the possible connections of the supported groups to the Islamic State. He expresses concerns that the distribution of weapons on these militias could one day be directed against Israel. Lieberman emphasizes that the support of rival clans as a possibility is to further weaken the control of Hamas over the Gaza Strip and enable an alternative form of government. T-Online analyzes the deeper political strategies in this context in this context should work.

The role of Yasser Abu Shabab

yasser Abu Shabab is the focus of bloody leadership, since he has both a criminal past and alleged connections to extremist groups such as the Islamic State. According to reports, Abu Shabab has submitted tent camp for displaced persons in southern Gaza Strip and distributed relief goods, but he is also accused of looting these relief goods. According to Tagesschau report activists that Hamas has difficulty checking the Gaza strip what a power vacuum has created.

An anonymous, anonymous Israeli official said that the militias received instructions from Israeli officers and the secret service. This strategy pursues the goal of achieving the total destruction of Hamas. Historically, this approach is not new. In the 1980s, Israel himself was involved in the development of Hamas to counteract the PLO, which, however, led to negative consequences. One example is the massacre in October 2023, which illustrates the risks of such political tactics.

future challenges

The situation in the Gaza Strip remains tense and the support of radical forces could further endanger the stability. Analysts warn of a chaos that could result in a civil war. The concern about possible consequences for Israel's security is great, which makes comparisons to a potential “Mogadishu” scenario in which the order completely disintegrates. SRF emphasizes that without a clear political plan for the post-war order could occur.

The Israeli army continues its military operation in the Gaza Strip and actively pursues the goal of reducing Hamas's power. However, the support of local militias that are associated with a new section of violence and political unrest remains an ambiguous and controversial chapter in this conflict. Experts warn that this strategy does not remain without far -reaching consequences for the region.
