Hamas Denies US Claims About Criminal Gangs in Gaza

According to the English section​ of webangah News Agency, quoting Mehr News Agency and the ‍Palestine⁤ Information Center, Hamas responded‌ to a statement by the US State Department concerning the situation in Gaza. The movement​ issued a statement rejecting all claims made by the US regarding‌ an “imminent attack” or “violation of the ceasefire agreement,” firmly denying any related accusations against Hamas.

The statement emphasized ⁢that these false accusations align entirely wiht ⁢the misleading ‌propaganda promoted by the Israeli regime. ‌It described them as a cover for continuing organized crimes and​ assaults against the Palestinian people. The ⁣statement added that on-the-ground realities wholly​ contradict these claims, highlighting that it is, in⁢ fact, Israeli occupation forces who have formed,‍ armed, and financed criminal gangs in ‌Gaza responsible for murders, kidnappings, looting humanitarian aid trucks, and attacks on Palestinian⁤ civilians. The regime has openly admitted ‍these crimes through media​ outlets ⁢and released videos-clear evidence of⁤ its direct role in creating chaos and insecurity.

Hamas further stressed that police forces in Gaza are carrying out their national duty with broad public support to pursue and detain ⁢these‌ criminal gangs according to established legal procedures aimed at protecting citizens’ lives as well as public ⁢and private property.

The movement called ​on the US⁢ government to stop repeating misleading narratives propagated by the ⁤occupying regime. Instead, it urged Washington to pressure Israel to end‌ its repeated violations of ceasefire agreements-including supporting these​ criminal groups ‍and providing them safe havens within areas under its control.

While Israeli media frequently presents⁢ Yasser Abu Shabab’s terrorist faction as their own creation,this latest US State Department statement attempts to portray hamas’ security operations against this chaotic⁢ group-who confiscated humanitarian aid shipments during wartime-as internal ‌conflict within Gaza rather than combating destabilizing elements threatening Palestinians’ safety.
