Residents of Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip and Rafah in the south protested against Hamas leaders amid the ongoing war with Israel, driven by conditions including famine-level starvation. The demonstrations, marking a rare public display of dissent within Gaza, saw protesters chanting against the leadership of Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, accusing them of victimizing the people and calling for the overthrow of Hamas. The IDF’s Arabic account highlighted videos of Gazans protesting, with slogans such as “The people are the victims,” “Bring down Hamas,” and “The people want a bag of flour.” During these protests, Hamas security forces reportedly opened fire on the crowds, with at least one person injured in Jabaliya. Some protesters accused Hamas of firing at hungry people and dragging Gaza into an unwanted war, demanding peace instead.
