Palestine

Summary by brave leo:

• The Ministry of Interior in Gaza has launched a large-scale security operation to target gangs looting humanitarian aid under the protection of Israeli forces.
• The operation has resulted in the neutralization of over 20 gang members and aims to dismantle criminal networks intercepting aid trucks destined for the besieged population in southern Gaza.
• The looting of aid has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, particularly in the south, where the scarcity of basic necessities due to the Israeli siege has led to growing fears of famine.
• Israeli forces are accused of providing cover for the gangs' operations, with intercepted communications suggesting that Israel's intelligence agency, Shin Bet, has been involved.
• The gangs are believed to be receiving weapons and ammunition from Israeli forces to destabilize the area, and some gang leaders have established "military-like compounds" in areas controlled by the Israeli army.
• The Gaza Interior Ministry has vowed to continue its crackdown on these criminal networks, promising a relentless campaign to eliminate those involved in aid theft.
