#Israel is backing four militias as part of a project to oust
#Hamas and create a “new
#Gaza,” according to a report released by Sky News on 25 October.
"We are all for ‘The New Gaza.’ Soon we will achieve full control of the Gaza Strip and will gather under one umbrella,” he added.
Astal added that the rifles used by his gang members are purchased from former Hamas fighters on the black market. “Ammunition and vehicles, on the other hand, are delivered through the Kerem Shalom border crossing after coordination with the Israeli military.”
Sky News has revealed that these groups are receiving backing from Arab states as well.
A photo featured in the report shows Abu Shabab’s deputy Ghassan al-Duhine, standing near a vehicle with a UAE-registered license plate.
Additionally, the logos of two of the militias, one of them led by Astal, are nearly identical to those used by UAE-backed groups in
#Yemen. The
#UAE did not respond to a request for comment from the outlet.
Regarding links to the PA, Astal said, “I have people within my group who are still, to this day, employees of the Palestinian Authority.”
