This group openly opposes the existence of Hamas, as the ruling authority in Palestine.They declared themselves to be a “Nationalist Group”.
Israel also uses cunning methods to support anti-Hamas armed groups such as the Abu Shahab gang.
A report from The Associated Press (AP) stated that Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu openly supports this resistance group.
“Israel supports Palestinian armed groups in Gaza in what it calls a move to fight Hamas. But UN officials and aid organizations say the military allows them to loot food and other supplies from their trucks,” the AP wrote last June when the group looted much of the aid entering the Gaza Strip.
Supported by Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a social media video that Israel had “activated” clans in Gaza to fight Hamas.
He did not explain how Israel supports them or what role Israel wants them to play.Netanyahu’s comments were a response to accusations by his political opponents of arming “crime families” in Gaza.
However, one of the ways that Israel builds is by approaching clans or tribes, and large families have a strong influence in Gaza.
From here, their leaders often help mediate disputes.Some have long been armed to protect the interests of their groups, and some have turned into gangs involved in drug trafficking or running racketeering businesses.

After seizing power in 2007, Hamas cracked down hard on Gaza gangs, sometimes with violence and sometimes by giving them benefits.
However, with Hamas’ power weakening after 20 months of war with Israel, the gangs are free to act again with Israel’s help.One of the actions they carried out was looting aid entering Gaza.
The Abu Shabab group’s media office told the AP that it was working with the Global Health Fund (GHF) “to ensure food and medicine reach recipients.”
They stated they were not involved in the distribution, but their fighters secured the area around the GHF-run distribution center inside the military-controlled zone in the Rafah region.
A GHF spokesman said it “does not cooperate” with Abu Shabab.
“We do have local Palestinian workers who we are very proud of, but none of them are armed, and they are not affiliated with the Abu Shabab organization,” said the spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with the group’s rules.
This leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, is known to be heavily involved in smuggling cigarettes and drugs from Egypt and Israel to Gaza via crossings and tunnels, according to two members of his extended family, one of whom was once part of his group.
Hamas once captured Abu Shabab but released him from prison along with most of the other inmates when the war began in October 2023.
