The Doghmush (Template:Lang-ar) (pronounced "Doe-moosh" or "Durmush", see spelling) are a Palestinian family from the Gaza Strip. They became known mostly due to calling themselves the Army of Islam, and being behind the kidnapping and holding of the British journalist Alan Johnston for four months in 2007. The family has reportedly been involved in extortion, smuggling, arms dealing, and the ruthless dispatch of rivals, and has been dubbed "the Sopranos of Gaza City". They are linked to the British based Palestinian-Jordanian extremist Abu Qatada.
