Hamas, significantly weakened by recent conflict, has begun reasserting its control over the Gaza Strip following a ceasefire, reportedly killing at least 33 people in a crackdown on rival groups. The group has cautiously redeployed its operatives, mindful of the fragile truce and the possibility of renewed violence. On Monday, members of Hamas's military wing were seen in public as the last living hostages taken from Israel were released, highlighting ongoing challenges to international efforts for a lasting peace. Footage and reports from Gaza indicate that Hamas has targeted individuals it accuses of collaborating with adversaries, with public executions witnessed by civilians.
