A senior militia commander in Gaza was killed late Monday in a targeted strike that has fueled intense speculation and controversy after he was accused by rivals of secretly collaborating with Israeli intelligence.
Local factions confirmed the commander’s death but offered conflicting accounts of the circumstances, with some blaming an airstrike and others suggesting an internal operation prompted by suspicions of betrayal. The incident has deepened tensions within Gaza’s fragmented militant landscape, where accusations of espionage often spark violent reprisal.
According to multiple Palestinian groups, the commander had recently come under scrutiny following claims that Israeli forces appeared to anticipate the movement of his unit during several operations. While no evidence has been publicly presented, the allegations were enough to escalate internal distrust.
Residents reported heavy gunfire in the area shortly before the strike, though details remain unclear. Security forces have since cordoned off the neighborhood and imposed heightened patrols amid fears of further clashes between rival factions.
The killing comes at a time of heightened instability in Gaza, where internal power struggles have intensified under the pressure of ongoing conflict and worsening humanitarian conditions. Analysts say the death of a figure accused of collaboration—an explosive charge in Gaza—could trigger a wave of retaliatory actions or purges within armed groups.
Israel has not commented on the incident.
As investigations continue and rival factions trade accusations, the commander’s death underscores the volatility gripping Gaza’s militant networks and the dangers posed by real or perceived disloyalty in a territory under constant surveillance and strain.
