Yasser Abu Shabab, leader of the Israeli-backed and anti-Hamas Popular Forces, is fatally shot in Rafah, Gaza, by unidentified gunmen.
Yasser Abu Shabab (19 December 1993 – 4 December 2025) was a Palestinian militant and the leader of the Popular Forces, an anti-Hamas armed group in the Gaza Strip. He was a Bedouin of the Tarabin tribe. Abu Shabab emerged as a local opposition figure to Hamas during the Gaza war. In May 2024, his group began looting aid trucks, claiming he was providing security for humanitarian aid convoys entering Gaza during the Rafah offensive. Abu Shabab was reportedly behind the Kerem Shalom aid convoy looting.[8] Israel began providing Abu Shabab’s group with weapons and equipment in 2025.[9] Since June 2025, his group has control over some parts of eastern Rafah.
