Gaza Interior Ministry announces “general amnesty” for gangs members not involved in bloodshed

GAZA, Oct. 12 (YPA) – The Ministry of Interior and National Security in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday the opening of a period for “repentance and general amnesty” for members of gangs “not involved in bloodshed,” to regularize their security and legal status.

The ministry clarified in a statement that the decision follows the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement with the Israeli occupation, and aims to restore security, stability, and strengthen national cohesion.

It noted that some gangs exploited the chaos during the war to commit illegal acts, but some of their members did not participate in murder crimes.

The ministry demanded that these individuals surrender themselves to the security services within one week, starting tomorrow morning, Monday (October 13, 2025), until the end of Sunday (October 19, 2025).

It warned that firm measures would be taken against anyone who refuses to surrender or insists on violating the law.
