## Militia Raid on Jabaliya
Youssef Al-Sheikh describes a raid by an Israel-backed Palestinian militia on September 24, 2026, in his Jabaliya refugee camp home.

> They came inside, and as soon as they entered, one of them raised his Kalashnikov and aimed it at me while I was here.
## Militia Violence
Militiamen beat Al-Sheikh and his brothers-in-law with rifles, confiscated phones, and photographed their faces for WhatsApp.

> They beat me in the most brutal ways. Angry red bruises were still visible on my neck and back two days later.
## Militia Detentions
At least five Palestinian militias operate from compounds under Israeli military control in Gaza, including the Northern Forces/Popular Army.

> The Northern Forces Forces/Popular Army was established in September 2025 and is led by Ashraf al-Mansi.
## Jabaliya Services Club
The Jabaliya Services Club, destroyed by Israeli forces in 2024, now shelters displaced families with no water or food.

> We thought sheltering under concrete would be better than sheltering under a tent. That’s what brought us here.
## Yellow Line Expansion
Israeli forces have expanded their control to 70% of Gaza by pushing the yellow line inward 200 meters in Shujaiya, displacing families.

> The yellow line used to be approximately 200 meters away from us. This morning, it was only 10 meters away.
## Displaced Families
Residents describe a lack of food, water, and services with constant attacks from Israeli forces and Palestinian militias.

> We don’t have enough water. There is indiscriminate gunfire 24 hours a day, as well as quadcopter fire and shelling.
## Militia Operations
Militias operate at night, using quadcopters to attack homes and detain young men without connection to organizations.

> They don’t come during the day. They come at three in the morning, like bandits.
## Ceasefire Violations
Israeli forces have killed over 1,500 people in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement went into effect, violating the agreement.

> They recently beat four young men and detained one of them before leaving.
## Militia Leadership
Militia leaders include former gang leaders, jihadi associates, and former Palestinian Authority security forces.

> They don’t even understand how they operate. Suddenly, they open fire at us, fire shells, take young men captive, and then leave.
## Shelter Conditions
Displaced families in Shujaiya face shelling, tanks, and F-16s from the yellow line with no safe shelter.

> We’re dying here every day because of the yellow line.
## Militia Impact
Al-Sheikh describes psychological trauma from the raid, including hallucinations and tears falling on their own.

> Even now, speaking personally, apart from what this has done to my wife and children, what happened to me has left me hysterical and hallucinating.
