At least 27 people have been killed in fierce clashes between Hamas security forces and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City, in one of the most violent internal confrontations since the end of major Israeli operations in the enclave.
Masked Hamas gunmen exchanged fire with clan fighters near the city's Jordanian hospital, witnesses said.
A senior official in the Hamas-run interior ministry said security units surrounded them and engaged in heavy fighting to detain them. The ministry said eight its members were killed in "an armed assault by a militia".
Medical sources said 19 Dughmush clan members and eight Hamas fighters had been killed since fighting began on Saturday...

This is so Unexpected! *drink*
Hamas was killing other Gaza residents all along.
How are these fighters still alive?
Rats killing each other.
Is there a Nobel “Mostly Peaceful” Prize?
“they dressed like women and moved with the other refugees.”
No honorable warrior would dress like a woman.
These “fighters” are just sicko pussies run by psychos.
[they dressed like women]
Democrats San Brinton and Rachel Levine are in Gaza City 🏙️?
So THAT’S where they got to...
Antifa already got it.
Drat! Maybe next year. 🤞
those local Muslim family clans just might be a pathway to peace maybe
but either way on that,
it sure is clear that Hamas has yet to be disarmed, declawed if Hamas is murdering local Muslim families
Their prophet said that warfare is deceit.
“All we are saying, is give peace a chance.”
At MOST for 72 hours!
When Muslims are killing each other stay out of it. Its all good.
Reminds me of a political cartoon from 2006 to 2007 (?), after Israel disengaged from Gaza and the West Bank.
Two Israeli soldiers are watching through binoculars the Palestinians fight each other.
One says to the other "who do we want to win?" The other replies "both of them".
The Russians were able to pacify Chechnya after delegating their authority to Ramzan Kadyrov.
A similar strategy may work in Gaza.
Interesting. They are primarily tribal or at least a couple of the clans/ tribes have offered to recognize the Jewish state and work peacefully with it in exchange for local autonomy in their villages.
There would still be a Fakestinian occupation but confined to a few towns and with full Israeli security and defense cooperative peaceful coexistence. It would be a significant compromise for Jerusalem but humanitarian and just might work. Maybe. Not sure any Fakestinian representations can ever again be trusted. Worth considering at any event?
Puerto Rico remained as an unincorporated territory for over a hundred years. Not perfect but it works for most part.
Give the clans $$$$ and the arms that they need in order to maintain the peace in Gaza.
