Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the country uses armed gangs in Gaza To help fight Hamas, coming after a new wave of military strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip, which left at least 52 Palestinians.

Netanyahu said that the government “activated” the strong local clans in the pocket based on the advice of “security officials”, a video statement that was published on X on Thursday hours after he was accused of former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman of publishing the tactic.

Last month, the Israeli newspaper Haritz reported the activities of the group-although it was named after the “anti-terrorist service” in the report-saying that the sources in Gaza claimed that it consisted of about 100 armed men working with the implicit approval of the Israeli army.
