Hamas reasserts control in a chaotic Gaza, posing a risk to the fragile ceasefire

Hamas has killed at least 33 members of armed groups to restore order and prevent chaos in Gaza following the ceasefire, as it faces pressure to disarm internationally.

  • On Monday, October 13, Hamas deployed members of its Qassam Brigades in Gaza as it freed the last living hostages, gradually reasserting control since the October 10 ceasefire.
  • Facing internal challenges after the war, Hamas moved to reestablish authority in Gaza, killing at least 33 people; Palestinian analyst Reham Owda said it aims to deter groups accused of collaborating and secure a role in the new governing arrangement.
  • The Hamas-run Sahm security force shared footage appearing to show execution-style killings of eight people, while a video showed masked gunmen shooting at least seven men on Monday.
  • With all hostages from Oct. 7, 2023, released, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted he may resume military actions, while Donald Trump said he temporarily approved Hamas policing Gaza but demands disarmament.
  • Diplomats warn armed clans and gangs could complicate disarmament talks and hamper humanitarian aid distribution, risking collapse of Trump’s Gaza plan for a demilitarized Gaza with international oversight.
