In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, fierce clashes erupted between a Hamas security force and gunmen from the al-Mujaida clan, one of the region’s largest families, marking a significant internal confrontation since the war began.
Hamas claimed the raid targeted suspected Israeli collaborators, but local accounts described an assault by 50 armed men in pickup trucks, killing five clan members.
Armed relatives retaliated, leading to hours of heavy gunfire, with reports of over 11 Hamas deaths, some bodies dragged through streets.
Unverified videos showed gunfire and an RPG striking a building.
Local elders mediated a body exchange to de-escalate.
The incident heightens fears of civil war-like conditions amid widespread weapons and tensions from Hamas’s 17-year rule.
This unrest contributes to Hamas’s rejection of Trump’s ceasefire plan, fearing retribution if disarmed, in a territory already facing displacement, destruction, and lawlessness.
