The Hamas terror group is losing control of Gaza's smaller terror groups, the Jewish Chronicle reported Wednesday, citing Israeli military sources.
The report noted that some of the smallest organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, have "cut off" and no longer heed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's instructions, These groups hold an unknown number of hostages.
Only about 20 living hostages are held by Hamas, while the other terror groups hold the remaining hostages.
According to the Chronicle, 22 handcuffed hostages are still believed to be alive - out of 108 still in Gaza - and those hostages are being forced into service as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's human shields.
Israel has also had multiple opportunities to eliminate Sinwar - but the orders to do so were not given due to the risk to the hostages who surround him.
Last week, reports said that Sinwar is demanding that his life and safety be assured as part of any ceasefire-hostage swap deal.
The Jewish Chronicle also reported that the smaller Gaza terror groups have been planning a coup for months, due to their deep disagreements with Sinwar over the proposed ceasefire-prisoner swap deal.
Among the disagreements is Hamas' insistence on prioritizing their own terrorists' release above that of the other terror groups' members, and the groups' demand for fair representation in the deal.

If the other terror groups were planning a coup against Sinwar, how would the Jewish Chronicle know? Did they send a press release?
This is ten pounds of BS in a five pound bag. It's newsworthy that A7 published this drivel.
108 hostages still in Gaza?
Funny, I have never seen that number from CNN ...
How do you negotiate with Evil?
Numerous reports of of 105 - 109 remaining hostages, with 70-some still alive.
Remote control bomb vests on hostages.
If you know who’s holding the remote and where they are, you can take them out. But that’s a big if.
It’s been done for thousands of years. The Crusaders and the various Muslim groups, and the Mongol Hordes when they showed up, they had trade agreements, non-aggression pacts, alliances. None of them lasted, but everyone in geopolitics negotiates with evil people when they must, and who the “evil” people is depends whom you ask.
“Last week, reports said that Sinwar is demanding that his life and safety be assured as part of any ceasefire-hostage swap deal.”
No deal.
L
Sure, Sinwar. Just walk this way. KABOOM! Damn those IEDs. Damn them!
When it comes to Hamas, Israel should just do what they have to do to wipe them out. If they take out these other terror groups at the same time, it won’t be a bad thing. Although I doubt many hostages will be recovered.
