According to the Prime Minister: "Using local organizations in the Gaza Strip to fight against Hamas"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on the 5th that Israel is "utilizing" local organizations in the Gaza Strip to counter the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement. Netanyahu posted a video on his social media account that evening, saying that this action was carried out in coordination with security officials, and Israel mobilized and utilized local organizations in the Gaza Strip that are against Hamas. He said, "This is completely positive and will only save the lives of Israeli soldiers." Netanyahu's statement was a response to accusations made by Israeli opposition lawmaker Avigdor Lieberman. Lieberman claimed that Netanyahu ordered the transfer of weapons to an organization in the Gaza Strip, equivalent to the extremist group "Islamic State" in Gaza, and "no one can guarantee that these weapons will not be aimed at Israel." Israeli public broadcaster cited an unnamed Israeli official on the 5th, reporting that a local organization in the Gaza Strip that is against Hamas has been receiving weapons from Israel. The report stated that this measure was approved by Netanyahu and implemented in cooperation with the National Security Agency, but without approval from the security cabinet of Israel.
