The family explained that Yasser had deceived them for years by claiming to work in humanitarian aid for Gaza residents. However, shocking footage released by the Palestinian resistance later revealed his involvement in security operations for Israel. Testimonies from those close to him confirmed his affiliation with undercover Israeli units (“Mistaravim”), and even showed him beside an Israeli tank in Rafah wearing a helmet of an Israeli “anti-terror” unit.

The statement emphasized that the family would not allow its name and legacy of resistance to be tarnished by a collaborator, calling on the public and resistance forces to pursue and hold him accountable. The declaration went as far as stating that “his blood is forfeit.” The family urged anyone who followed him to immediately denounce him or risk facing the same consequences.

Previously accused of being affiliated with ISIS and stealing aid trucks, Yasser Abu Shabab has now become a symbol of a far more dangerous Israeli plan: to establish a post-war local force loyal to Israel and present it as an alternative to Gaza’s national resistance leadership. This bold step by the Abu Shabab family has been widely welcomed by Palestinians, who saw it as a clear message to every traitor:“Treason will not be protected—even if it comes from within the household.”
