Fighters from Hamas and other Gaza factions have formed an armed force to prevent gangs pillaging aid convoys in the territory, residents and sources close to the group said, after a big increase in the looting of scarce supplies.

Since being formed this month amid rising public anger at aid seizures and price gouging, the new force has staged repeated operations, ambushing looters and killing some in armed clashes, the sources said.

Ridiculous that mods delete comments not supporting their agenda. This is like being on lemmy.ml

Okay say what you want about Hamas, but it takes balls to do this knowing there's a good chance you'll get bombed for it*

*The reason looters appeared in the first place is because Israel kept bombing Hamas police forces.

So Hamas has been taking the aid so that Israeli army will stop stealing it
