Hamas Kills its Rivals, While Israel Looks for a “Day After” Plan

 Hamas has reportedly murdered clan members it sees as either “collaborators” with Israel or a threat to its rule of the Strip after the war in three separate purges since December.

The latest of whom were members of the Doghmush clan, which has some Hamas ties itself. It would seem that Hamas is killing its own out of desperation.

As the “day after” is currently one of the biggest questions regarding the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, until recently, there have been no direct details divulged. 

Israeli media have, however, reported that clan members have begun to speak out on how the IDF has been in touch with them to request they provide security to aid convoys. Reports by The Times of Israel, and Reuters write that those who spoke out explicitly stated that they rejected working with Israel or against Hamas.

TOI reports that not only were these families asked for help to protect aid, but were potentially approached to take civil control of certain areas of Gaza. While this doesn’t seem like a fully formed “day after” plan, it seems to be the beginning of Israel’s search for one. But now, much of the mainstream media is ignoring it.

The fatal flaw, however, is that Hamas have threatened these families and anyone else who “colludes” with Israel. As stated above, even murdering some they accuse of being collaborators.

Where are the media reports?
