Hamas announced that its Radea security force conducted an operation in southern Gaza targeting the militia led by Yasser Abu Shabab, which it accuses of collaborating with Israel. During the raid, several members of Abu Shabab's Popular Forces group were arrested and military equipment was seized. The operation is part of Hamas's broader efforts to reassert control in Gaza following a recent ceasefire, amid ongoing tensions and accusations of collaboration with Israel. The group has also broadcast executions of alleged collaborators as it seeks to deter opposition and maintain order in the enclave.
