Hamas called on the Palestinian people to withdraw any social cover from these gangs and to cooperate with Gaza security forces to protect the society from the enemy’s infiltrating arms. Lieberman has accused Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of unilaterally arming Gaza criminal gangs that he compared to Daesh without the approval of the cabinet. The gang claims to protect humanitarian aid convoys but it has been widely accused of looting them.
