'Whoever says ‘no’ to Hamas is a hero. It’s those traitors that need to be dealt with,” Nasira said.

Footage published over the weekend revealed that another anti-Hamas militia has been established in the Gaza Strip.

The militia is headed by Shawqi Abu Nasira, who, according to media reports, formerly served as a Palestinian Authority officer. The published footage showed Nasira addressing a line of masked men standing at attention.

“This is for Hamas to hear. Your dirty shoes are more honorable than the biggest beard in Hamas,” he told the assembled men, according to a translation published on X/Twitter by the Center for Peace Communications.

Speaking to N12, Hossam al-Astal, leader of the Counter-Terrorism Strike Force militia, noted that Nasira’s militia is the fifth such group in Gaza.

"There are now five militias operating in the Strip,” Astal told N12. “Abu Nasira has been in eastern Khan Yunis for several months. I started with four people, and today I have hundreds. We will put an end to Hamas. We are the day after.”

“ Instead of trying to arrest me as a collaborator, how about you catch my d**k! From Hamas leader [Khalil] al Hayya down to the least of them,” Nasira said. “We aren't afraid of their barking because we are…”

'Death to Hamas!' militia men chant

The assembled men responded by shouting, “Lions!” The men thereafter chant “Death to Hamas!”

Nasira continued, labeling the Iranians “the enemies of Islam and Sunnis” and told the assembled militia men, “You’re not Israeli collaborators. You are the best among the people. Whoever says ‘no’ to Hamas is a hero. Whether it’s me or anyone else, whoever says ‘no’ to Hamas is a hero. It’s those traitors that need to be dealt with.”

Finally, he slams Hamas for obsessing over catching “collaborators” and asks, “If they aren’t spies and collaborators themselves, why don’t they start walking the streets without masks on?”

Following the publishing of the footage, Abu Nasira issued a public statement disavowing Nasira and affirming its alignment with Hamas.

"The Abu Nasira family in the homeland and diaspora affirms its adherence to the national principles and its complete alignment with the ranks of our people and its valiant resistance," the statement read. "Regarding the actions of the individual known as Shawqi Abu Nasira and his joining the groups of the mercenary collaborator Yasser Abu Shabab, we hereby declare our complete disavowal of these behaviors, and we affirm that they represent none but their perpetrator."
