Hamas terrorists push Palestinians to kill Israeli-backed militia members, Gazans tell ‘Post'
The call to assassinate figures in the armed militias follows the announcement of a roadmap for advancing to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
Hamas has encouraged Palestinians to target senior members of Israeli-backed militias in the Gaza Strip. The terror group's special security unit, Rada Force, suggested eliminating these top collaborators to dismantle the so-called "collaborator gangs." The Rada Force stated, "We say to all members of the collaborator gangs that assassinating senior collaborators in these groups will be your salvation before us and before your people."
In a move to crack down on the militias, the force reported apprehending a Palestinian linked to senior militia collaborators, confiscating his weapons and money. Hamas praised the public's sense of national and ethical responsibility, urging residents to report suspicious behavior and the whereabouts of wanted collaborators. This call to action follows the announcement of a roadmap for a transition to the second phase of a ceasefire agreement, which includes Hamas agreeing to hand over heavy weapons to a Palestinian technocratic committee.
However, Hamas remains concerned about the militias' continued presence, as sources in Gaza claim. Despite the militias' lack of public popularity, Hamas sees them as a threat to its rule and aims to isolate militia leaders, stripping them of public support by offering pardons to repentant militia members who wish to return to Gaza society.
