Anti-Hamas Militia in Gaza Says Leader Killed

[Starmix]

According to the report, the notorious Palestinian armed group opposed to Hamas in Gaza and suspected of being backed by Israel has announced that its leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, has been killed.

The report stated that Abu Shabab’s Popular Forces originally started operating in Gaza’s southern Rafah governorate and were accused of looting aid. Israeli authorities acknowledged in June that they had armed Palestinian gangs opposed to Hamas, without directly naming the one led by Abu Shabab.

The report added that the killed commander, Yasser Abu Shabab, was the founder of the Popular Forces in the Gaza Strip. He was shot while attempting to resolve a dispute between members of the Abu Sanima family and rejected misleading reports that he was killed by Hamas.

The report also said that Israeli media on Thursday reported that Abu Shabab had succumbed to his wounds after being evacuated from Gaza to a hospital in southern Israel. The death of Shabab was good news for the displaced Palestinians.

In addition, the European Council on Foreign Relations says Abu Shabab was born in 1990 and describes him as leading a criminal gang operating in the Rafah area that is widely accused of looting aid trucks and was previously imprisoned by Hamas for drug trafficking.

The news of Yasser Abu Shabab's death has generated many reactions both regionally and internationally. While some believe his demise could reduce certain conflicts and acts of violence in Gaza, others fear it could also escalate tensions, given his group's significant influence in the area. Abu Shabab's history as the leader of a group with a criminal record and his involvement in looting and clashes further complicates the situation. It is important to closely monitor how this situation develops, as the death of such a controversial figure could have diverse repercussions on the balance of power in Gaza and on relations with Israel. Hopefully, beyond the disputes, the pursuit of peace and stability for all those suffering in the region will prevail.

That was good for the criminal who was killed by the secret agents of Israel. He was a wanted militia accused of looting aid trucks with aid from Israel. That slain commander was also a drug trafficker.
