Hamas will target clans and groups that have shown opposition to the terror group - it will also target those that have worked with Israel, or who it accuses of working with Israel.

Hamas appears to be preparing to exact vengeance on those opposed to its rule in Gaza. This will come in the form of mafia-like murders of those Hamas claims are “collaborators.” It will target clans and groups that have shown opposition to Hamas. It will also target those that have worked with Israel, or who it accuses of working with Israel.

A Telegram channel linked to Hamas said the group would target “collaborators.”

The BBC reported that Hamas has called up some 7,000 fighters to assert its control. Hamas recruited during the war even as it took losses. It may have lost many of its commanders, but it has appointed new commanders to various cells, platoons, companies, battalions and brigades.

The BBC reported that “Hamas recalls 7,000 fighters to reassert control over Gaza as fears of renewed internal violence emerge following the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Khaled Abu Toameh, an expert and journalist who has covered Palestinian affairs for decades, wrote on social media that “Hamas security forces have arrested dozens of suspected collaborators and anti-Hamas clan members since the ceasefire went into effect. Many are expected to be executed, according to Palestinian sources.”

Israel’s Ynet noted that “amid the emerging cease-fire deal with Hamas, under which 48 hostages held in Gaza are expected to be released in the coming days, a senior Israeli security official on Thursday called to ‘act now’ to protect the Gaza clans that fought against Hamas during the war. ‘We must not abandon them to Hamas,’ he said.” The New Arab has asked what will happen to those groups that worked with Israel and The Guardian has made it appear that those groups could harm the current peace deal.

Hamas will want to settle scores and also show that it is still in control. Hamas will not remain in the shadows, it is already deploying men with AK-47s in areas of Gaza. It will want to show that it still has a mafia-like grip on power. It won’t want any of the various clans, tribes and militias to get any ideas. It will want to cement itself in power before any new interim administration is appointed. Then it will hand a fait accompli to anyone who thinks they can remove Hamas from Gaza.
