Members of the Abu Samra clan in the Gaza city of Deir al-Balah have executed an individual who they say is a Hamas operative responsible for the deadly shooting of one of their relatives earlier today.
The Hamas operative allegedly shot Abdulrahman Sha’aban Abu Samra while he was waiting in line for flour in Deir al-Balah.

Members of the Abu Samra family say they managed to track down the Hamas operative responsible and brought him in front of the entrance of Deir al-Balah where several relatives opened fire.

Footage of the execution is being shared widely on Palestinian social media and appears to highlight growing fury with Hamas among Gaza civilians.
Protests against Hamas have been held across the Strip for the past week, with thousands participating cumulatively. Participants have come under threat from Hamas and other Gaza terror groups, who have warned that they will be treated as collaborators with Israel.
