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.

    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…

        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.
