‘Hamas is killing hundreds’: Head of Khan Younis militia pleads for international community to protect Gazans against Hamas executions
Times of Israel ^ | October 16, 2025 | Nurit Yohanan

Posted on 10/16/2025 1:40:48 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Hossam al-Astal, a militia leader operating with Israeli support in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, demands that the world protect Gaza’s residents from Hamas’s terror, amid a wave of executions and killings carried out by the terror group.

In a video obtained by The Times of Israel, al-Astal thanks US President Trump for his efforts toward the ceasefire, but adds that after saving Gazans from Israeli bombardment, the president should now save them from Hamas.

“Hamas is killing hundreds of children, women, youths and elderly people. Under what charge? We came out of a military war into a war of terrorists,” he declares. “Today, Hamas is waging terror against the people in Gaza, killing with RPGs. Hamas is 100% ISIS,” he says, calling on the international community to protect Gaza’s residents from Hamas.

Adding “a message to the people in Gaza and to the whole world,” al-Astal says his militia is not “seeking to rule Gaza or gain influence.”

“We want to move the people from Hamas’s rule to civilian rule that will serve the residents. We want peace and we want to live. We are not fighting Hamas today in order to rule,” he insists.

In a conversation with The Times of Israel after the video was recorded, al-Astal stresses that his group is continuing to fight Hamas.

In a bizarre way, Hamas is performing a community service, ‘culling’ scores of trained-since-birth anti semites/ anti American jihadists. Does Hamas realize they are depleting their own troops and supporters?

Trump: Hamas Must Disarm or Be Disarmed, Perhaps Violently

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4346386/posts

These Jihadist killers run when met with determined force. America’s best interests? Well, in the shrunken world we live in, Hamas might be considered a threat to America (and certainly to Israel, America’s ally).

So what will the Gretards and the other pali-demonstrators say now? And Two-tier Starmer, Macaroni and the other fantastic EU-leaders?

What in the Hell did all these governments think Hamas was going to do if turned loose on the unarmed civilian population? Start selling Girl Scout Cookies? Wars are only won when one side surrenders, turns in their arms and the enemy’s wartime leaders get turned over to military justice and Hamas declared war on Israel on Oct. 7th. I’ll make a bet Hamas leadership is already making plans on how to lay low, rearm and reman until the next Democrat wins the White House and once restart the annihilation of Israel.

That is right, they are brown and not human anyhow, who cares.

It really is not hard to see why the world hates us so much. Human compassion is not our strong point.

Israel made the deal because they wanted the hostages back. At the same time, Hamas needed to rebuild and rearm.

Yeah basically what is happening is that Hamas is killing off anyone they consider being a “Traitor” or anyone that they believe hates them

“a militia leader operating with Israeli support”

Hamas is executing collaborators. It happens during every cleanup stage.
