An Israeli official said that one of the groups that Netanyahu was referring to was the so-called Abu Shabab group.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media.

In recent weeks, the Abu Shabab group announced online that its fighters were helping protect aid shipments to the new distribution mechanism backed by Israel in the south of the Gaza Strip.
