Notes

1. Ynet reported that the Khanidak clan is said to be receiving weapons and aid from Israel and salaries from the Palestinian Authority. ^[99] However, the clan's leader, Yasser Khanidak, has denied collaboration with Israel or the Palestinian Authority, and said he supports Hamas and its allies. ^[100] He additionally claimed that his activity was only within the framework of revenge for the killing of two of his brothers by another clan. ^[101]
