Sign of resurgence: Hamas deploys police, distributes funds in Gaza where Israeli troops withdrew weeks ago

Firstpost  

Hamas has reportedly started resurfacing in areas where Israeli troops withdrew a month ago, with reports indicating the deployment of police officers and the payments of salaries to certain civil servants in Gaza City were also made. Four Gaza City residents told The Associated Press that in recent days, uniformed and plainclothes police officers deployed near police headquarters and other government offices, including near Shifa Hospital, the territory’s largest. Saeed Abdel-Bar, a resident of Gaza City, said a cousin received funds from a makeshift Hamas office that was set up to distribute $200 payouts to government employees, including police officers and municipal workers. At least 11 people were injured when Israel’s military fired smoke bombs at displaced people sheltering at the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent in the southern city of Khan Younis, the organization said. A United Nations official on Friday said Rafah was becoming a “pressure cooker of despair.” Israel’s defense minister warned earlier in the week that Israel might expand combat to Rafah after focusing on Khan Younis, the largest city in southern Gaza.
