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 are religious extremist nutjobs who want to do to Israel what the IDF has been doing to Palestine, they just don’t have the resources to do so. My heart goes out to the innocent Palestinians caught in the middle but that doesn’t excuse or support the awful people fucking them over from both sides!

      Hamas accept the two state solution with pre 67 border. Stop acting like Palestinians including Palestinian extremist are the reason why Israel is occupying them. You just an hypocrite who would use the same rhetoric if you lived during the Nat Turner revolts or revolts against unarmed settlers that stole first nations land .

      I support all sides to be held accountable after Palestine is free and yes including Hamas
