After a peace deal with Israel, Hamas has reasserted itself on the Gaza Strip's streets, saying it seeks to restore order and send a message. A video obtained by CBS News shows Hamas fighters with armed men standing over Palestinians they accused of collaborating with Israel; moments later, the captives are executed. Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin called the killings part of a long pattern and blamed Israel for arming rival militias during the war, a tactic he said is unsustainable. President Trump acknowledged Hamas had 'taken out' violent gangs and said it did not bother him.
