Hamas has recalled about 7,000 members of its security forces to reassert control over areas of Gaza recently vacated by Israeli troops, according to local sources.
The Palestinian group also appointed five new governors all with military backgrounds, some of whom previously commanded brigades in its armed wing.
The mobilisation order was reportedly issued via phone calls and text messages which said the aim was to "cleanse Gaza of outlaws and collaborators with Israel" and told fighters to report within 24 hours.
Reports from Gaza suggest that armed Hamas units have already deployed across several districts, some wearing civilian clothes and others in the blue uniforms of the Gaza police.
Tensions rose sharply and quickly after two members of Hamas's elite forces were shot dead by gunmen from the powerful Dughmush clan in Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood. One of them was the son of a senior commander in Hamas's armed wing, Imad Aqel, who now heads the group's military intelligence.
Their bodies were left in the street, triggering anger and raising the prospect of a major armed response by Hamas.
Hamas members later surrounded a large area where more than 300 Dughmush gunmen were believed to be holed up, armed with machine guns and improvised explosives.
This morning Hamas killed one Dughmush clan member, and reportedly kidnapped another 30.
Some of the clan's weapons were looted from Hamas depots during the war, while others had been in the clan's possession for years.
The Hamas mobilisation had been widely anticipated amid growing uncertainty about who will govern Gaza once the war ends.
This is a key issue that could complicate the start of the second phase of US President Donald Trump's peace plan, which calls for Hamas to disarm.

“...two members of Hamas’s elite forces were shot dead by gunmen from the powerful Dughmush clan in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood”
Have the locals had enough of Hamas? Or is the Dughmush clan just as bad as Hamas and this is nothing but a power play?
The method of Islam is, when weakened, to make treaties with the intention of breaking them, and when enough strength is again gathered, break them.
Big surprise.
It’s amazing that those who are essentially foot soldiers would respond to this call. Maybe not surprising since suicide is so deeply engrained in their sick minds
Never should’ve allowed the civilians back in until the hostages were released and Hamas disarmed, Now you can’t hit ‘em without collateral damage.
No argument there. Islam is in various forms of schism, with the radicals waging their small wars against other Muslims as well. As one has seen over these many last years. Dancing and singing at a Gazan wedding brought Muslims attacking Muslims.
All I see is 7,000 fresh IDF targets when Hamas doesn’t release the kidnapped people.
YUP
The Jerusalem politicians have sold the country out. Again.
Target Hamas, every last one
So Hamas will probably use a cease fire to re-arm and re-man, which they all ready are doing, and when it’s to their advantage they will scuttle any agreement they make with Israel. I wouln’t be surprise if they don’t have mass executions of Gazans they believe were supporting and/or aiding Israel just to show the remaining Gazans who is in charge.
Smart on Israel. Get Hamas to bring all their terrorists into ONE area so that Israel can easily kill them all!!!!
Hope the hostages get released before what’s left of Gaza goes up in smoke.
Yup.
Send them some more pagers.
Looks like the peace agreement is over. Islamic terrorists back at it.
Recalled from where ?Were they home on leave or something???
