Those files targeted at least 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 62-slide presentation on the General Security Service showed that the entity worked to suppress demonstrations criticizing the regime for power shortages and the cost of living.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe General Security Service\u2019s goals are similar to those of security services in countries like Syria that have used secret units to quell dissent,\u201d The Times reported. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere are a lot of people practicing self-censorship,\u201d Mkhaimar Abusada, a professor in Gaza City told the Times. \u201cThey just don\u2019t want problems with the Hamas government.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The leftist group Amnesty International <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2015\/05\/gaza-palestinians-tortured-summarily-killed-by-hamas-forces-during-2014-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> in 2015 that \u201cHamas forces carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of \u2018collaborating\u2019 with Israel and others during Israel\u2019s military offensive against Gaza in July and August 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn the chaos of the conflict, the de facto Hamas administration granted its security forces free rein to carry out horrific abuses including against people in its custody. These spine-chilling actions, some of which amount to war crimes, were designed to exact revenge and spread fear across the Gaza Strip,\u201d Philip Luther of Amnesty International stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cInstead of upholding justice, the Hamas authorities and leadership have continuously encouraged and facilitated these appalling crimes against powerless individuals. Their failure to even condemn the unlawful killings, abduction and torture of perceived suspects leaves them effectively with blood on their hands,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roughly three weeks after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas murdered more than 1200 Israelis, Palestinian human rights activist Bassem Eid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/hamas-preventing-gaza-residents-fleeing-to-safety-palestinian-activist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Hamas blocked people from leaving northern Gaza, \u201cpushing people back into their houses, not allowing them to move.\u201d He added, \u201cUnfortunately, sometimes we have more and more casualties among the Palestinians because of such kind of attitude and behavior of Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar oversaw a secretive police unit in Gaza, using informants to monitor dissenters.
