Sky News has obtained videos showing evidence of Israeli support for a Gaza militia led by Ashraf Al Mansi. The footage, verified by Sky News, appears to show the militia receiving supplies from the direction of an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) base or the Israeli border. This new evidence comes as Hamas is attempting to reassert its authority in Gaza by cracking down on anti-Hamas militias, some of which are backed by Israel. The videos suggest that Israel is facilitating the supply of goods, including food, water, and fuel, to Al Mansi's militia, known as the People's Army. This support is similar to that given to another militia, Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, in Gaza's far south, as revealed by a previous Sky News investigation. The development has led to tensions between Hamas and the militias, with Hamas carrying out a violent crackdown on suspected collaborators and anti-Hamas groups.
