Reports emerging over the past hour indicate that Hamas is rearming itself as a police force in Gaza, engaging in rival shootings, according to correspondent claims. One correspondent stated, "We gave them an approval for a period of time... Because they want to stop the problems," suggesting a potential tacit approval for Hamas's rearmament. This development occurs amidst ongoing conflict and previous reports of Israeli forces reviewing the destruction of a sewage treatment plant and widespread arson during their withdrawal. These claims of Hamas rearming as a policing entity come as the Majaydeh clan in Khan Yunis announced its disarmament and surrender of weapons to Hamas "this morning" on Thursday, October 3rd, 2025. This move signifies Hamas asserting control across the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli researcher Or Fialkov. Previous reports detailed clashes between Hamas and the Majaydeh family, whom Hamas accused of collaborating with Israel. Separately, a chant, "Gaza, Gaza, make us proud, Put the Zios in the ground," was allegedly heard at a rally in London yesterday, as reported by a correspondent. Another social media post from yesterday describes a confrontation between a Black Israelite and an individual over Palestine, with the former stating, "That land was never yours, it wasn’t the Palestinians either but at least they were there before yall."
