Following the humiliating collapse of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots”—another failed Zionist attempt to crush Palestinian resistance—the Israeli occupation regime has resorted to its oldest colonial tactic: divide and rule. Now exposed, Israel has been arming and directing local criminal gangs in Gaza to loot humanitarian aid, terrorize civilians, and spark infighting among Palestinians.
Abu Shabab: A Traitor Exposed
The Joint Operations Room of Palestinian Resistance Factions—comprising 12 armed wings, including Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades—issued a damning statement on July 6, branding the Abu Shabab militia as “traitors for hire” after its leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, openly confessed to collaborating with the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in an interview with Israeli radio Makan.
Abu Shabab shamelessly admitted:
“We inform [the IOF] when we go on a mission… We don’t rule out confrontation with Hamas, even if it means civil war.”
This confirms what Palestinian resistance forces have long warned: Israel is deliberately fueling chaos in Gaza to weaken unity and justify its genocidal war.
Netanyahu’s ISIS-Style Mercenaries
In June, even far-right Israeli opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman accused Benjamin Netanyahu of arming gangs linked to ISIS in Gaza. Netanyahu’s response? A chilling endorsement:
“We activated clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas… What’s wrong with this?”
Everything is wrong. This is imperialism’s playbook—using paid thugs to destabilize liberation movements, just as the U.S. did in Vietnam, Latin America, and Afghanistan.
Who is Abu Shabab? A Zionist Puppet with Blood on His Hands
2015: Arrested by Hamas for drug trafficking, sentenced to 25 years.
October 2023: Escaped prison during Israeli airstrikes—likely with IOF help.
Since then, his gang has:
Looted UN aid under IOF protection, selling it at inflated prices.
Set up concentration camps in Rafah, luring starving Palestinians with stolen food.
Conducted reconnaissance for IOF, targeting resistance fighters.
Acted as death squads, executing Palestinians who resist.
A UN memo (leaked by The Washington Post) confirmed Abu Shabab’s role in Israel’s starvation campaign.
Why Now? Because Israel is Losing
“Operation Gideon’s Chariots”—launched in May 2025 to force Hamas into surrender—has instead seen heavy IOF losses. Recent ambushes by Al-Qassam Brigades in Beit Hanoun killed 5 soldiers and wounded 10, proving resistance remains unbroken.
With military defeat looming, Israel turns to dirty tricks:
Starve Gaza (blocking aid).
Arm gangs (to steal what little aid arrives).
Provoke civil war (to fracture Palestinian unity).
Palestinian Resistance Stands Firm
The Revolutionary Court in Gaza has given Abu Shabab 10 days to surrender for treason. Meanwhile, resistance factions vow:
“No mercy for traitors who aid the occupation.”
Lessons for Nepal & the Global South
Israel’s tactics mirror U.S. interventions in Nepal during the People’s War—funding reactionaries, distorting narratives, and crushing people’s movements. We must stand with Palestine, recognizing:
Zionism = Imperialism
Palestinian Resistance = Our Resistance
From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free!
