Hundreds of Palestinians have taken to the streets in northern Gaza, demanding freedom from the rule of Hamas, the militant group that governs the enclave. Protesters have voiced frustration over economic hardship, a lack of political freedoms and the ongoing conflict with Israel.
中文BBC reported that the rare public demonstrations reflect growing discontent, with many blaming Hamas for worsening living conditions and political isolation. The protests came despite an ongoing Israeli military campaign, which has intensified in recent weeks.
Protesters chanted slogans against Hamas and called for new leadership, while security forces loyal to the group attempted to disperse the crowds. Several demonstrators were reportedly arrested, and tensions remain high in the region.
Latest Chinese News adds, The protests highlight growing internal divisions within Palestinian society, as civilians struggle under harsh conditions. While much of the international focus has been on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, internal dissent against Hamas signals deeper frustrations that could reshape the region’s political landscape.
