Hamas has launched a violent crackdown on rival factions in Gaza, executing eight people by firing squad and clashing with the powerful Doghmush clan, as it seeks to reassert control in the Palestinian territory amid a US-brokered ceasefire. After releasing Israeli hostages, it is turning the gun on its own people.
When Palestinians were hoping that peace would finally return to Gaza after the ceasefire with Israel, Hamas started a bloodbath. In a move to consolidate power and rule over the ruins, the Palestinian terrorist group has started executing members of rival militia. At least eight people were killed by the firing squad of Hamas, in what appeared to be a semi-public execution, according to a Shafaq News report. Over 50 rival members have been killed in all, Ynet reported
Video footage circulating on local social media platforms showed masked security personnel carrying out the sentences, with the victims blindfolded and bound. Hamas officials claimed the executed individuals had engaged in criminal activities and cooperated with Israeli forces during the recent two-year conflict, which has left much of Gaza in ruins.
The crackdown escalated into violent clashes with rival factions, including the influential Doghmush clan, one of Gaza's most powerful armed groups.
Video footage circulating on local platforms showed masked security personnel carrying out the executions in what appeared to be a public or semi-public location, reported Shafaq News.
According to reports from the Israeli news outlet Ynet, 52 members of the Dogmush clan were killed in confrontations with Hamas' internal security forces. Twelve Hamas fighters/terrorists also died in the fighting, including the son of senior Hamas official Bassem Naim. Witnesses described Hamas gunmen using ambulances to infiltrate the clan's neighbourhood, a tactic that has drawn criticism for endangering civilians
