Palestinians in Gaza held a rare public protest against Hamas on Tuesday in Beit Lahiya, expressing discontent with the ongoing war with Israel. Hundreds participated, chanting slogans against Hamas and holding signs demanding an end to the conflict. The protest, initially small, grew to over 2,000 people. Demonstrators voiced frustration over the bombardment, casualties, and displacement. Some videos appeared to show Hamas supporters dispersing the crowds. The protest occurred a week after Israel resumed attacks following a ceasefire breakdown. Israel demands the release of hostages and Hamas's disarmament, while Hamas seeks prisoner exchange and Israeli withdrawal.
