A deadly struggle for power has begun in Gaza that has left dozens dead in clashes between Hamas and its bitter rivals.
At least 27 people have been killed in the deadly skirmishes between the terror group and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City.
The two groups have reportedly been fighting since Saturday across Gaza's main city, including near the Jordanian hospital in the west of the city.
The BBC reported that 19 Dughmush clan members and eight Hamas fighters have been killed since then.
But ordinary Gazans, who have suffered under the Israeli invasion of the Strip for just over two years, have also been affected by the skirmishes.
Locals told of scenes of terror as families, many of whom have already been forced to move from location to location, fled their homes under loud and heavy gunfire.
One resident said: 'This time people weren't fleeing Israeli attacks. They were running from their own people'.
Hamas and the Dughmush clan have a long and bitter rivalry that has resulted in numerous fights with each other over the years.
Hamas officials working within the government of the Gaza Strip said its forces were working to restore order and warned that 'any armed activity outside the framework of the resistance' would be dealt with.
Following two years of brutal conflict with Israel, which is drawing to a close with the signing of a peace deal, Hamas has been left severely weakened and appears to be consolidating control over the Gaza Strip.
Over the weekend, Hamas vowed to remove 'outlaws and collaborators with Israel' as it recalled its security forces to take back control of Gaza.
Some 7,000 gunmen were called on by Hamas to reassert control over areas of the enclave that had been vacated by Israeli forces.

From the river to the sea
Gaza will be Hamas free
Like two drug gangs fighting over turf.
Hamas is killing anyone they believe worked with the IDF and gave them intel, how they know who did that who knows, but Hamas are TERRORIST scum and NO ONE in the media is calling them out on it since these Gazans are not being killed by the IDF therefore its fine
This is exactly what Islam is on the inside. And quite like all other authoritarians as well.
When a young fellow, I bought a paperback of the Koran in English out of wanting to be better informed. In the preface, the translator mentioned that one Muslim source who;d helped with text translations was murdered by another Muslim over theological differences. Fifty plus years later, my view has become all the more reinforced by Muslims' individual penchant to kill "for" that religion, proving the same again and again.
I didn't know Scottish clans were in Gaza!
They’re “going to the mattresses” I see.
Gaza:
A real life “Lord of the Flies” situation only that the children have been given loaded guns and whiskey.
Newly released terrorists, taking out other gang terrorists
Ha ha, love it
SURE HOPE SO
How is this “peace” if Hamas still will rule Gaza?
I am sure that lefty tools will blame Israel for this.
Well here we go again. 🙄
Muzzies have been killing each other for thousands of years.
According to their own religion they are inherently "peaceful" souls. It should work out well for all of us.
Those mongrels would fight the air if that’s all that was left. Outsiders. Each other. Themselves. They’re insane.
Who has the “Well, that escalated quickly.” meme?
