Israel is reportedly providing support to anti-Hamas militias in the Gaza Strip, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal. This support includes weapons, intelligence, food, and medical care, with some wounded militia members being airlifted to Israel for treatment. The report highlights Israeli backing for a specific militia led by Hussam al-Astal, whose group has carried out attacks against Hamas forces. While Israeli officials acknowledge their involvement, some in Israel have raised concerns about the long-term risks of supporting these groups, drawing parallels to past experiences with militias in Lebanon. The Israeli military and security services declined to comment on the report.
