TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Ma'an, the Zionist newspaper, Israel Hayom, reported that coordination is underway between US military commanders stationed in Kiryat Gat, located in the center of the occupied territories, and armed mercenaries, including Abu Shabab militias in east Rafah.

The report states that, in addition to Abu Shabab mercenaries, armed elements affiliated with Hossam al-Astal in Khan Yunis are also involved in this coordination.
Israel Hayom added that the al-Astal group enjoys weapons support coordinated by the Zionist side, and this is taking place within the framework of US measures to pave the way for the establishment of a local organization in the Gaza Strip affiliated with Washington and Tel Aviv.
The US and the Zionist regime's goal in organizing mercenary militias affiliated with them is to confront the Resistance Forces and create chaos and anarchy in the Gaza Strip.
The report states that the United States views these mercenaries as a temporary replacement for the international force in the Gaza Strip.
