After\u00a0President Donald Trump<\/a> declared in Israel\u2019s Knesset that “the war is over” and celebrated the return\u00a0of the remaining living hostages, Hamas terrorists across the border in Gaza were reportedly killing its opponents in Gaza City\u2019s main square \u2014 in full view of the public.<\/p>\n Videos circulating on social media appear to show the executions, which an Israeli military official told Fox News Digital are, “Hamas\u2019s deliberate attempt to show the killing publicly and reestablish its rule by terrorizing civilians.”<\/p>\n In conversations with Fox News Digital, Gazans described Hamas fighters reappearing in the streets and reasserting control \u2014 yet some said this could also be their first real\u00a0chance for change and to get rid of the terror regime.<\/p>\n Mukhaimar Abu Saada, a political analyst from Gaza, told Fox News Digital disarming Hamas will not be easy, as clashes between the group and local militias have already erupted. “This won\u2019t happen quickly,” he said. “We\u2019re talking about an ideological organization. Even last night, people were killed in clashes between Hamas and local militias. It\u2019s not a rosy road.”<\/p>\n TRUMP PEACE PLAN FOR GAZA COULD BE JUST A ‘PAUSE’ BEFORE HAMAS STRIKES AGAIN, EXPERTS WARN<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Abu Saada said Hamas has issued an ultimatum giving collaborators with Israel<\/a> until October 19 to surrender and seek amnesty from Hamas \u2014 as long as they were not involved in killings.<\/p>\n “They\u2019re still strong,” he admitted. “Part of the reason they didn\u2019t fight harder in the last days is that they saved some men and weapons for the day after. I still see Hamas police in the streets of Gaza. Trump said they lost thousands, but they\u2019re still there, able to control the streets once Israel redeploys.”<\/p>\n A man in Gaza who asked to remain anonymous told Fox News Digital that, despite official declarations, “You cannot say the war is finished,” he said. “We have to wait a few weeks to see what happens. There are gangs in Gaza now; Hamas is trying to fight them. If they don\u2019t unify, another war could start.”<\/p>\n He described Hamas as weakened and divided. “Hamas is not strong like before. Those who remain are mostly police \u2014 not the real Hamas people who believe in their extremist jihadist ideology,” he said. “We have to watch what happens next and see if they rebuild.”<\/p>\n He said the group\u2019s survival depends on whether it accepts the deal. He called the situation “very strange,” noting that Hamas agreed to release all hostages<\/u><\/a> while Israeli is still holding parts of Gaza. “It\u2019s not a real deal yet. We need someone from Hamas to explain what they agreed to, because we need to think about our future.”<\/p>\n A group of Hamas terrorists in Deir-el Balah in central Gaza as 20 living Israeli hostages were freed on Oct. 13, 2025.<\/span> (Photos by TPS-IL)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n FROM GRIEF TO GRATITUDE: TRUMP PRAISED AS ISRAELIS CELEBRATE HAMAS HOSTAGE DEAL IN TEL AVIV<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Another man in Gaza City voiced the same uncertainty. “No one knows what is happening \u2014 who will rule, what will happen with Hamas, and if the war is truly over,” he said. “We hope for a better future. I just want me and my family to live without targeting, without bloodshed.”<\/p>\n Ordinary Gazans, he added, are exhausted but yearning for calm. “People just want the blood to stop. They want to stop losing their relatives and friends \u2026 It\u2019s in their hands now \u2014 if they will allow Hamas to continue or finally rise up. But nothing is clear.”<\/p>\n Abu Saada said\u00a0there is “no question Hamas will have to disarm one way or another,” describing it as an inevitable part of the plan announced by President Trump and endorsed by Israel\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n “The real question is who will hold those weapons \u2014 the Palestinian Authority or the so-called \u2018security stabilization force\u2019 that\u2019s supposed to deploy next. It\u2019s definitely going to happen, but we have to wait for the second phase of the negotiations.”<\/p>\n A Gazan family walks near the rubble of buildings during the Eid al-Adha holiday, in Gaza City, June 6, 2025.\u00a0<\/span> (Mahmoud Issa\/Reuters)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Abu Saada said even Qatari mediators<\/a> have confirmed that disarmament “has not yet been discussed but will be discussed in the coming days.” For now, he added, Gazans are focused on survival after “two years of misery, destruction, and bloodshed.”<\/p>\n Ultimately, he said, Hamas will have to comply. “No Arab country will give a single dollar if Hamas doesn\u2019t disarm. Rebuilding Gaza depends on Hamas no longer being in control. The war is over, but the real test is only beginning.”<\/p>\n While voices inside Gaza reflect uncertainty, experts in Washington say Hamas\u2019s political and military isolation has never been greater.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hamas-gunmen-in-gaza_03.jpg\")
