Old Feuds Resurface in Gaza as Hamas Control Fades
(Ynet News) Einav Halabi - Widespread murders and looting are sweeping through Gaza in the wake of the war, as longstanding tribal feuds resurface, including attempts to settle old scores. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that "Many people have been killed in incidents related to the First Intifada in 1987, while others have died in family disputes." In various criminal conflicts across Gaza, 21 people were murdered in May and at least 14 people in June. One recent victim was Mahmoud Nashbat, who was a commander of Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. Nashbat was killed in Deir al-Balah by assailants affiliated with Hamas.
