Anti-Hamas militia leader Yasser Abu Shabab killed in Gaza Strip
Yasser Abu Shabab, a key Israeli-backed militia leader in Gaza, was killed amid internal conflicts and clan disputes, undermining Israeli efforts against Hamas, officials said.
- On Thursday, Israeli collaborator and militia leader Yasser Abu Shabab was reportedly killed in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
- Cooperation with Israel and accusations of looting and killings made Abu Shabab a priority target, as Hamas security forces vowed to track him during the `two-year genocidal war on Gaza`.
- Accounts conflict over the circumstances of his death, with some alleging an ambush, while Channel 12 reported Israeli forces took Abu Shabab to Soroka Hospital, where he was declared dead.
- Crowds in Gaza celebrated after the reports, handing out sweets and firing into the air; the Palestinian group offered no immediate comment, and Amit Segal, Israeli journalist and political commentator of Channel 12, called it `bad development for Israel`.
- Armed and given Israeli air cover, Abu Shabab operated under Israeli protection from eastern Rafah, an area under full Israeli control.
