An Israeli-backed Palestinian militia in Gaza said Thursday its leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, has been killed in a dispute with another family. The Popular Forces is one of several armed Palestinian groups supported by Israel that operate in the large portion of the Gaza Strip – about half the territory – still under Israeli military control. The group tout itself as anti-Hamas but has been denounced by many Palestinians, including Abu Shabab’s family, as tools of the Israeli military. Story by Laurent Berstecher.
