Hamas's internal security unit, the Rada Force, has called on Gaza residents to assassinate senior members of Israeli-backed militias, labeling them 'collaborator gangs.' In a statement, the force said that eliminating top collaborators would be 'your salvation before us and before your people.' The call follows the announcement of a roadmap for advancing to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, under which Hamas agreed to hand over its heavy weapons to a Palestinian technocratic committee. The deal also includes Hamas's demand to dissolve the anti-Hamas militias, whose members will not be integrated into security services. Despite the militias lacking public popularity, sources say Hamas sees them as a threat to its rule. The Rada Force also offered pardons to militiamen who repent, claiming it is handling requests from families. A source said Hamas addressed cases of 17 individuals linked to the militias. In response, a militia figure expressed doubt that Hamas will disarm, saying 'the deal will not happen.' The militias were established to combat Hamas following the October 7 massacre.
