US President Donald Trump has threatened to “violently” disarm Hamas as the group attempts to reassert control over the Gaza Strip. <\/p>\n

His comments came as footage circulated online showing a public execution and other displays of force by Hamas fighters who have been targeting gangs accused of collaborating with Israeli forces since the US-brokered ceasefire began last week.<\/p>\n

A clip that emerged on Monday afternoon showed Hamas fighters, some of whom were wearing body armour and Hamas headbands, executing a group of eight men. BBC Verify geolocated the footage to a junction in the central Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City. <\/p>\n

The fighters could be seen lining the men up in front of a large crowd, which appeared to include at least one young child, and forcing the men to their knees. Members of the crowd could be heard shouting “collaborator” or “agent”. <\/p>\n

The assembled fighters then opened fire on the bound men, who fell to the ground, before firing into the air and shouting “long live the al-Qassam Brigades”, referencing Hamas’ military wing.<\/p>\n

The execution is just one of a number of videos BBC Verify has authenticated, showing that Hamas has started to reassert itself across the Gaza Strip and targeted rival armed groups. <\/p>\n
