In a recent security thrust to curb violence, Hamas forces have reportedly taken decisive action against a notorious gang in Gaza City. After a ceasefire agreement, the operation resulted in 32 gang members being killed, alongside the loss of six Hamas personnel, as confirmed by Palestinian security sources on Monday.

The campaign, targeting individuals linked to a family-based gang, saw 24 arrests and 30 injuries. These efforts underscore Hamas's intent to stabilize the region post-ceasefire and to prevent a descent into lawlessness, according to the Interior Ministry in Gaza.

In light of the ongoing unrest, U.S. President Donald Trump has called for Hamas to disarm as part of a broader peace strategy. However, he acknowledged the necessity of the group's internal security operations, granting temporary approval to avert further instability. This move aims to smooth the transitioning phase after the prolonged conflict with Israel.
