According to Hamas, some of these groups were supported by Israel, further complicating the situation in the region.
For over two months, Israel has been blocking aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, which, according to international organizations, worsens the humanitarian crisis. Israeli authorities claim that the blockade is aimed at Hamas, which allegedly steals aid shipments to fund its terrorist activities.
