Several Zionist regime’s outlets reported that he was killed on Thursday, though details regarding who was responsible for his killing or the circumstances surrounding it have not been confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The incident was said to have taken place in Rafah in southern Gaza, an area currently under full Israeli control.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal described Abu Shabab’s reported killing as a “bad development for Israel,” highlighting his role as a local collaborator.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Abu Shabab emerged during the two-year genocidal war as the head of the so-called Popular Forces, looting aid and killing or kidnapping Palestinian civilians and Hamas fighters as well as collaborating with Israeli forces.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

He was reportedly armed and provided with operational freedom under Israeli military protection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Abu Shabab’s Popular Forces has faced widespread condemnation from Palestinian factions, who slammed the group as “traitorous” and linked it to both Israel and Daesh.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

There have been numerous reports of the group engaging in extortion, looting of humanitarian aid and coordinating with the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), which has been accused of overseeing the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians at aid sites.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

A 2024 internal UN report also identified the group as a key actor behind “systematic and massive looting” of humanitarian aid convoys in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier this year, Israel’s Arabic-language radio station Makan reported that Abu Shabab had boasted in an interview that his militia operated “with ease” in areas under Israeli military control.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
