A anti Hamas militia commander in Khan Yunis told N12 that “Hamas should fear me,” saying he moves in and out of Hamas-held areas and is not intimidated. He said Hamas blocks people from reaching his group with roadside checkpoints, yet he continues operating openly.
He insisted he is not afraid of being targeted, claiming “I have power” and that Israel’s protection is not the main factor. He would not reveal his manpower but said his ranks grow daily.
Looking ahead, he said his faction aims to establish a new authority in Gaza in the new year and welcomed an international force, saying Hamas must be replaced after 18 years.

He said Qatar was criticized for hosting Hamas, yet that relationship enabled the Gaza ceasefire and the hostage releases. Al Thani insisted Qatari aid went to Gaza’s civilians, not Hamas, and said accusations of Qatari funding for Hamas have no basis.
