Goodness! It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard from the Doghmushes, and now they’ve gone and got themselves killed, probably due to a perceived threat to Hamas…

City, because the group allegedly had been stealing humanitarian aid and was suspected of having contact with Israel.

Under the circumstances, I imagine that anyone who can muster enough of a threat is doing the same. That’s how low trust/high clannishness (Me-and-my-brother-against-my-cousin) societies work.

Unconfirmed reports on Arab media said that the clan leader, who was not named, was "executed" in the family compound along with two others.

Earlier this week, a Hamas-linked website warned Paleostinian individuals and groups against cooperating with Israel to provide security for aid convoys amid the spiraling humanitarian crisis in Gaza as war rages between Israel and Hamas.

“Do not dare to protect your robberies against the rampaging Hamas minions, lest we fall upon you like wolves on the fold. Inshallah, Allah will curse all your mustaches for even thinking of self-protection against the most-beloved of the King of Lies.”

Those who did would be treated as collaborators and handled with an iron fist, the Hamas al-Majd security website said, quoting a security official in Paleostinian terror forces.

A less picturesque way to describe it, but conseiderably more succinct.

The warning came in response to reports that Israel was considering arming some Paleostinian individuals or clans in Gaza to provide security protection for aid convoys entering the enclave as part of wider planning for humanitarian supplies after the fighting ends.

Doghmush is a large, armed clan that has clashed with Hamas in the past and has a history of engaging in organized crime as well as arms trading. It leads the Army of Islam terror group and is allied with al-Qaeda.

A matter of faith or merely an alliance of convenience?

It kidnapped and held British journalist Alan Johnston from March to July 2007, and was also reportedly involved in the kidnapping of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006.

The Doghmush clan is based in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City and in Sabra in western Gaza, the Ynet website reported.

Despite the recent reports of cooperation with Israel, clans have put out a statement saying they still support Hamas, Ynet said.

Whether true or not beyond the moment, it was clearly necessary.

On Wednesday, Hamas said in a statement that it welcomed the clans’ announcement and praised them for refusing to cooperate with Israel, Ynet said.

Gaza has a number of large traditional family clans affiliated with political factions including Hamas and Fatah, the rival group that dominates the Paleostinian Authority in the West Bank.

Some of the larger clans in Gaza City and elsewhere are believed to be well-armed but they have a long history of clashing over rival interests and there has been no indication that they would consider working with Israel.

Israel has not yet provided a clear plan for a postwar scenario in Gaza and has repeatedly rejected a proposal favored by the US and much of the international community to restore the Paleostinian Authority’s rule over the enclave.

In seeking an alternative to both the PA and the Hamas terror regime, which it has vowed to eradicate, Israel has been floating the possibility of Gazook clans running the Strip’s civilian affairs, while the IDF would retain security control. Some experts are dubious about the feasibility of Israel’s proposal; a similar attempt was made decades ago, unsuccessfully. But experts’ skepticism is mainly due to the diminished clout that clans now hold in contemporary Gazook society, and the inevitable influence that established Paleostinian political movements would exert over them.

Israel has also reportedly considered arming Gaza civilians in order to secure aid convoys.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says that at least 31,184 Paleostinians have been killed since October 7, and some 72,899 have been injured. The terror group’s figures are unverified, however, and don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants, of whom Israel has said it killed some 13,000 inside Gaza and an additional 1,000 inside Israel in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre.

Doghmush clan says it considers all Hamas members legitimate targets after leader assassinated

The statement pledges retribution against all responsible and warns Hamas fighters not to test the clan’s patience.

#5 Q: Does the DoD anticipate that Hamas will try to fire on them, on the operation (the Mulberry)?

Gen. Ryder: Look, I mean, that's certainly a risk, again, but if Hamas truly does care about the Paleostinian people, then again, one would hope that this international mission to deliver aid to people who need it would be able to happen unhindered.

Warmz and Fuzzies all around.
