Israel has long armed and backed Criminal gangs in Gaza affiliated with ISIS to help carry out it’s genocide.
Most notably, early in the genocide in Gaza , Israel armed the ISIS linked drug smuggling gang led by Yasser Abu Shabab, to loot aid going into Gaza.
While Yasser Abu Shabab was later killed in an internal coup, his gang, branded as the “popular forces” by Israel, has been continued to be backed by the IDF, now led by Ghassan al-Duhaini, a former “commander in a terrorist group in Gaza that was associated with al-Qaeda”.
A new investigation in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has revealed that Israel’s arming of terrorists gangs in Gaza to carry out its dirty work is even more extensive than previously reported.
According to the investigation, terrorist gangs backed by the IDF were deployed in six areas across Gaza, including “Beit Hanoun, Shujaiyeh, Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis and Rafah”.
One IDF officials admitted to Haaretz that the terrorist gangs banked by Israel carried out looting and burning of homes, telling the paper, “We saw them arrive in two or three pickup trucks … They just ran and shot at people, They entered every structure, looted everything they could get their hands on, came out with piles of stuff – and then burned down the house.”
Another “militia commander in the Deir al-Balah area confirmed his cooperation with the IDF in expelling Gazans” saying ‘We convey the Israeli side's messages to people – to leave the place’”.
“The State of Israel, the IDF and Shin Bet sending armed, trained militias to commit war crimes” one Israeli Air Force officer admitted to the paper.
Another IDF militant admitted to the paper, “IDF sends militiamen to hard-to-reach areas deep inside Hamas-controlled territory, including to retrieve drones used for smuggling. ‘They’re told, ‘Bring us the drone and keep whatever is inside.’ Whether it’s weapons or drugs, they take everything.’”
These terrorist gangs, according to Haaretz “have become an operational arm of the IDF and Shin Bet inside Gaza.”
The paper quoted Senior military officials in Israel who admitted the terrorist gangs in Gaza armed by Israel are, “former gang leaders and drug dealers who exploited the chaos and the power vacuum in Gaza for personal gain”, not to mention the fact that many have previously has ties to ISIS, as the former Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman acknowledged in June of last year.
The investigation added that “The militias' bases are located just hundreds of meters from IDF outposts. They have call signs on the army's radio network, appear on briefing maps, and their gunmen are marked in the IDF's command-and-control systems” and that “Soldiers told Haaretz that the army had built temporary compounds for the militias, complete with mobile structures.”
According to the investigation, Israel put the most resources into building up the compound controlled by the ISIS linked Abu Shabab gang writing that “Satellite imagery and videos from the ground show a particularly significant expansion in the Abu Shabab militia compound in eastern Rafah. It showcases heavy engineering machinery at work, the paving of a new training yard and new mobile structures fitted with Tornado air conditioners. It has also shown off a playground with artificial turf, a mosque, a food store with fully stocked shelves and a clothing shop” and adding, “IDF sources said some of the equipment comes from Israel.”
The Abu Shabab gang’s current leader, Ghassan al-Duhaini, previously joined “the Army of Islam, or Jaysh al-Islam a Gaza-based Salafi jihadist group with a similar ideology to al-Qaeda that declared its allegiance to ISIS in 2015” and has admitted that he , “adopted Salafi jihadism” and was “close to Jabhat al-Nusra (Syrian Al Qaeda) during the war in Syria”.

Tell me, again, how a President Harris, who doubled-down on her support for the Zionist State of Israel, would be a 'vast improvement' over the Trumpster? Sorry, but the lives of Palestinians need to be protected just as urgently as the victims of ICE raids or any of the other crimes being committed against USians.
So sickening…and no one is doing anything about it…disgusting weak leaders is what we have….
