I guess Hamas hasn’t quite fully restored law and order yet:
Who stole the shoes of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh while he was attending Friday prayers in Gaza City? This is the question that Hamas’s security apparatus has been trying to answer since last Friday.
The shoes were stolen after Haniyeh and his entourage arrived at a mosque in Gaza City for Friday prayers.
Following the prayer, Haniyeh discovered that his shoes were missing. His nervous bodyguard immediately began searching for the missing shoes and all worshipers were required to remain inside the mosque until the search was over.
“It was a very embarrassing situation,” said a Palestinian journalist who was present at the scene. “Hamas sent reinforcements to the area and a frantic search for the shoes began.”

It’s a bit of a misnomer to describe what Hamas is trying to impose in Gaza as “law and order”. Just “order” is more like it. Even a master yogi would have a hard time making the stretch to any semblance of the rule of law.
Yet every third news article about Gaza talks about law and order.
