Shawqi Abu Nasira, head of the self-styled “Free Homeland Forces” anti-Hamas militia in eastern Khan Younis, accuses Hamas of storming his home, abducting his wife and stealing money, a gas canister and solar panels.

“I don’t know if this is a rule of law or of larceny,” he says in an interview dated Tuesday with anti-Hamas outlet Jusoor News.

Hamas’s Sahm 103 unit, which targets Gazans accused of collaborating with Israel, confirms on its Telegram channel that it detained Abu Nasira’s wife on Monday, and says it also detained his son.

The unit claims Abu Nasira’s family members had in their possession NIS 700,000 ($220,000) “en route to one of the saboteur groups in the Strip.”
