According to the post, he was killed while "attempting to resolve a conflict" between members of a family and emphasizes that he was not killed by Hamas.
Haaretz writes, citing sources, that the militia leader died in an Israeli hospital after being injured in clashes in Gaza.
The militia group he led, al-Quwwat ash-Shabiyya (Popular Forces, commonly called Abu Shabab), is alleged to have links to the terrorist movement IS and, according to Israeli media, has been provided with weapons and other equipment by Israel with the aim of fighting Hamas.
In the vacuum created by the weakening of Hamas, which is branded a terrorist organization, several armed groups and clans have gained a foothold in the Gaza Strip. Abu Shabab has been described as one of the most influential.
