Yasir Abu Shabab
Yasir Abu Shabab is a controversial figure from the Gaza Strip, recently in the news for his role in leading the 'Palestinian People's Forces,' a militia that claims to operate independently from Hamas. Originating from the Tarabin Bedouin tribe, Shabab has garnered attention for his alleged collaboration with Israel, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the arming of clans in Gaza to counter Hamas. Previously imprisoned for drug smuggling, Shabab's group has faced criticism for its actions, including accusations of looting humanitarian aid. With a small force of 200 to 300 militants, he aims to assert control in a volatile region while being viewed by many as an Israeli collaborator, complicating the already tense dynamics in Gaza.
