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.

    You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?

      I dunno, but I’m pretty sure the right option is not public executions without due process perpetrated by a bunch of religious extremist nutjobs hours after ironically fascist nutjobs stopped publicly executing civilians without due process only they didn’t actually stop.

        Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that

        Please. There’s never been an anti-colonial movement where collaborators weren’t punished harshly. Nelson Mandela’s ANC executed collaborators in famously brutal fashion.

          And that makes it fine for a bunch of religious extremists to murder people in the streets?

          Cool story, still extrajudicial slaughter.

          EDIT: Oh right, you’re from .ml so obviously you support fascism when it’s for your team. I should’ve known.

            Fantastic, my dude, good luck defeating the “Hamas fascists”, and the 85% of the world population that supports their actions. You’ve done a great job by sitting on your ass while a genocide is committed so far. Anything else? 🤨🎤🗑️

              Can’t attack my argument so you attack a fictitious version of me instead. You clearly hold the moral high ground here /s

              Also lmao at “85% of the world supports public executions and beheadings” you absolute psychopath xD
