Can Hamas control individual rocket firing?
In a bid to advance the truce with Israel, Gaza’s resistance factions, including Hamas, seem to have agreed to avoid and stop indiscriminate rocket launches toward Israel and to hand over culprits to the competent official authorities for accountability.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Gaza’s Public Prosecutor, Diaa al-Din al-Madhoun, held at his office Nov. 6 a meeting with several resistance factions in the Gaza Strip, calling on them to tighten control over weapons and seize them from “abusers,” in reference to individuals using weapons individually outside the framework of national consensus.
The meeting came following the return to Gaza Oct. 28 of a senior Hamas delegation that had visited Cairo for meetings with Egyptian officials discussing the Israeli blockade and the truce with Israel.
Madhoun also called on factions not to provide partisan protection for such individuals and to hand them over to law enforcement agencies.
He stressed that the Public Prosecution “will serve as the strong hand of the law against anyone who tampers with the security and stability of our people,” Palestinian government-run Al-Ray news agency reported.
