Palestinian Militia With Ties to Israel Emerges in War-Torn Gaza
A Palestinian militia operating with tacit approval from Israel has surfaced in the Gaza Strip, offering a prospective postwar alternative to Hamas governance.
The Popular Forces, led by a man calling himself Yasir Abu Shabab, says its mission is to rescue Gazans from starvation and violence exacerbated by Hamas. Its existence was publicized 20 months into Israel's military campaign in Gaza, which has inflicted significant damage but failed to eliminate Hamas.
