Israeli-Backed Gaza Militia Leader Killed in Strike

An Israeli-backed Palestinian militia in Gaza has confirmed the death of its leader, Yasser Abu Shabab. He was killed in a strike earlier this week. The group, known as the Palestinian National Liberation Army, operates in Gaza's Rafah area. It has coordinated with the Israeli military against Hamas. Hamas issued a statement on Abu Shabab's death. The militant group described it as "the inevitable fate of anyone who betrayed his people and his country." The killing highlights the complex internal conflicts within Gaza during the war. It underscores the ongoing violence between Hamas and other Palestinian factions that oppose its rule.
