Israel arming anti-Hamas gang in Gaza
Israel is supplying weapons to a Palestinian gang in Gaza with the aim of destabilising Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu said. Rifles and handguns have reportedly been handed over to the Abu Shabab militia, an armed group that has been accused of looting aid and, allegedly, has links to Isis. Based in the east of Rafah, the gang has been operating within an area that is under the direct control of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), indicating that it is doing so with Israeli consent. The revelation comes as Israel seeks to break Hamas's control over the population of Gaza via its troubled new aid distribution mechanism and an enhanced military campaign. Abu Shabab has members in both Gaza and Egypt and is led by Yasser Abu Shabab, who comes from a Bedouin family. His group has been accused of involvement in drug dealing and weapons smuggling from Egypt, including via the use of drones. According to local media reports, the group, comprising roughly 100 armed men, now calls itself the 'anti-terror service'. The news was leaked by Avigdor Lieberman, a former defence minister, and political rival to Mr Netanyahu. He said the government was arming Isis-affiliated criminal gangs. The Israeli prime minister admitted the claim, saying: 'In consultation with security officials, we made use of the clans in Gaza that are opposed to Hamas. 'What's wrong with that? It's only good. It saves the lives of IDF soldiers.' Some Israeli politicians, and some in the media, have pointed out that there is no guarantee that the militia will not go on to use the weapons against the IDF, and that Israel has a mixed history of arming Palestinian factions for short-term gain. Yair Golan, leader of the opposition Democrats, wrote on X: 'Netanyahu, who transferred billions to Hamas in suitcases full of cash [before October 7], based on the incorrect belief that Hamas is an 'asset,' is now promoting a new dangerous concept: Arming a Gazan militia with ties to ISIS.' 'Netanyahu is dangerous to Israel's security,' he said. 'This is not a mistake. This is systematic. Netanyahu is selling Israel's security for another day in office.' Even among a population that, reportedly, is growing increasingly weary of Hamas, any suggestion of affiliation with Israel is very controversial. Yasser Abu Shabab denied receiving weapons from Israel, criticising 'false claims meant to discredit a home-grown initiative against injustice, theft, and corruption'. However, his family members reportedly wrote on social media: 'We, like everyone else, were surprised by video footage broadcast by the resistance showing the involvement of Yasser's groups within a dangerous security framework, reaching the point of operating within undercover units and supporting the Zionist occupation forces, who are brutally killing our people. 'We affirm that we will not accept Yasser's return to the family. We have no objection to those around him liquidating him immediately, and we tell you that his blood is forfeit.' On Thursday, Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, published satellite images that purported to show the increased activity of the Abu Shabab militia within the IDF-controlled area. Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency has longstanding links with certain Bedouin-led gangs, both in Gaza and elsewhere. The Times of Israel said the decision to supply weapons was made without the approval of the security cabinet, which would be normal procedure. Instead, it was led by the security agencies and approved by Mr Netanyahu. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

A Massachusetts teen detained by ICE was held in "deplorable" conditions. Package delayed for tariffs? It may be a scam. America's eyes were glued to X yesterday as President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk engaged in a social media tit-for-tat, hurling deep personal attacks at one another. : Trump said Thursday he was "very disappointed" with Musk and suggested his close relationship with the former top White House adviser was over. . Musk said Trump wouldn't have won a second term and Republicans would be in the minority in both chambers of the U.S. Congress without him. Then, Trump threatened Musk's government contracts as "the easiest way to save money." . Musk countered it was "time to drop the really big bomb" and said Trump's name was in the Justice Department's files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. . Other Republicans welcomed Musk's criticism of GOP spending. Democrats watched the feud unfold with glee. ~ Robin Nice, lawyer for Marcelo Gomes da Silva,18, a Massachusetts high school junior who she says endured "deplorable" conditions while being held by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE agents on May 31 when he was stopped on his way to volleyball practice with friends in his hometown of Milford. A humble veteran, 100, recalls D-Day 81 years later.

You see an ad online for something you want, and you proceed to the seller's website. The site looks professional, the price seems reasonable, and checkout is quick and easy. But then, your order never arrives. When you follow up with the seller, you might get vague, automated emails urging you to 'be patient.' Then comes the explanation: Your package is stuck due to tariffs. But that could be a sign of a scam, warns the Better Business Bureau. U.S. consumers are not typically required to pay tariffs after placing an order. If a company says your package is stuck in customs or asks for additional payment due to tariffs, that's a major red flag. Who are the winners and losers of Aaron Rodgers' deal with the Steelers?
