(Washington Post) Claire Parker - In the past few months, Yasser Abu Shabab, 35, has come to represent an Israeli initiative to empower Palestinian clans and weaken Hamas in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the beginning of June that Israel was arming members of clans - large, influential extended families - in Gaza as counterweights to Hamas.

Almost as soon as Abu Shabab appeared on the scene, he was in Hamas's crosshairs. Hamas began to target his relatives and associates, killing his brother in December.
