This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.
The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.
This seems like Israeli propaganda. Are they allowing impartial journalists into Palestine? Israel killed over 250 journalists.
It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven’t spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - “look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all”.
Hamas aren’t friendly lovable rebels. They’re a product of oppression, people turned extreme using extreme measures.

The fact that one side is a piece of shit doesn’t mean the other side isn’t also a piece of shit
So any skepticism of Israel is support for hamas? /s
You may be talking past each other. This IS propaganda: Not to defend murder or extrajudicial violence, but Hamas by all accounts beheaded criminals. To dude’s point, Hamas IS a violent, repressive group born of inconceivable human suffering, as referenced by them using beheading as a form of punishment. But back to propaganda, western media is more than happy to strip all context to display Hamas as just some back-asswards Islamic terror group rather than a legitimate governmental force, despite Israel’s propensity for capital punishment (and the US’s).
