Khaberni - The Hebrew newspaper "Israel Today" reported, "A security discussion witnessed a disagreement between the Israeli military and the Shin Bet regarding handling the militia elements supported in Gaza after the war ended."
According to the report prepared by Avi Briel, "The Israeli military objected to a proposal made by the Shin Bet that involves transferring the militia elements to closed camps inside the Gaza envelope area after the cessation of fighting, as a temporary measure to protect them and ensure security control over them."
The commander of the southern region justified the military's refusal of this proposal by stating that the potential danger these elements could pose to Israeli civilians outweighs any commitment to providing protection for them, especially after the military intelligence agency "Aman" detected signs that some of these elements were fleeing after they received promises of amnesty from the Hamas movement, according to the newspaper.
In the recent period, the occupation has established armed groups, to operate parallel to the Israeli occupation forces and under the supervision of the General Security Service (Shin Bet).
According to what was revealed by Channel 12 Israeli, these militias do not receive regular Israeli weapons, but are supplied with what the army confiscated from the storages of resistance factions in Gaza and from weapons seized at Hezbollah in South Lebanon, making their combat tools appear more like "war spoils" than Israeli military equipment.
The group led by Yasser Abu Shabab, stationed in the eastern areas of Rafah, is the most prominent example of this formation, and it enjoys direct protection from the Israeli military, with formations in other areas as well.
According to the newspaper "Haaretz," the tasks of these groups include gathering intelligence information, monitoring areas devoid of Hamas and Islamic Jihad elements, and participating in security control in places populated by displaced civilians in the southern Gaza Strip.
