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.

      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
