"A Palestinian pro-democracy source said that Hamas claimed their attacks on influential families were for security, but were seen to be a display of power. The militant group has become increasingly unpopular in Gaza and its era of control is seen to be over, the political insider added."
"A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel – brokered by the US, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey – came into force on Friday and appears to be holding.
"But pockets of violence have erupted between Hamas and rival groups, as they seek to fill the power vacuum left by the Israeli withdrawal.
"Hamas has reportedly recalled 7,000 members of its internal security forces to take control as Israeli troops withdraw, warning that it would “cleanse Gaza of outlaws and collaborators” who worked with Israel.
"At least 27 people were killed in a clash between Hamas and the Dughmush clan – a prominent family – in Gaza City this weekend, with videos circulating online appearing to show Hamas fighters beating men in the street.
"A prominent Palestinian influencer, Saleh Aljafarawi, who reported on the war, was shot and killed while covering the fighting.
"Medical sources told the BBC that 19 Dughmush clan members and eight Hamas fighters had been killed since Saturday." . . .
After Gaza: What's Next? Cal Thomas:
"This battle may be over, but Israel's enemies don't share the same view."
Here below is a video that works: Hamas TV Children's Show Encourages Killing of Jews. This is dated 2015, so children who watched this back then were likely part of the marauding bands looting Israeli homes on that Oct 7, or - worse - Hamas killers who burned families alive
. . . "Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) keeps tabs on what terrorist groups and others are saying about a post-Gaza future. It has compiled 20 examples that show the Palestinian Authority's (PA) real intentions. In the PA's Oct. 2 publication, there was this: "It may be necessary to find a way to persuade Hamas to completely leave the area for a year or two. Later, when things become clearer, we can look for ways to bring Hamas back to operation."
"After Trump won re-election last November, PMW President Itamar Marcus told The Washington Free Beacon: "(Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud) Abbas and his people hate Trump. They think he's not up to their level of humanity. They mock the way he looks. They mock the way he talks. Now that Trump will be the president again, they think they can play him, but he should recognize exactly who they are. They see themselves as in a camp with Russia and China and the Islamic world, and they are diametrically opposed to American policy around the world.' "
