Fresh video evidence has emerged showing Israeli support for a Gaza-based militia led by Ashraf Al Mansi, known as the People's Army. Footage verified by Sky News depicts convoys loaded with supplies, including food, water, and fuel marked with Israeli branding, traveling through Israeli-controlled areas to the militia's headquarters in northern Gaza. This follows previous revelations of Israeli backing for another influential militia in the south of Gaza, indicating a broader pattern of support.
The new evidence comes amid escalating tensions, as Hamas intensifies its crackdown on anti-Hamas militias operating in Israeli-controlled zones. Reports detail violent confrontations, public executions, and the seizure of vehicles, weapons, and cash from these groups. Local clan leaders and Hamas officials accuse the militias of collaborating with Israel and committing abuses against civilians, while questions remain over the absence of formal justice mechanisms in the region.
