As Israeli forces withdraw after ceasefire, Hamas tightens its grip on the streets of Gaza
With Israeli troops pulling back under a ceasefire that began last Friday, Hamas has moved quickly to reassert its own authority across the devastated Gaza Strip, fighting bloody clashes with armed groups it accuses of being criminal gangs and shooting alleged collaborators in the street. Experts say the speed with which Hamas has restored its monopoly on armed force in the territory makes it unlikely that the group will disarm as outlined in the US-brokered Gaza peace deal.
