THIS is the incredible moment brave Palestinians shout anti-Hamas slogans in the biggest protests seen in the terror group’s stronghold in Gaza.
Rare scenes showed hundreds of mostly male protesters taking to the streets in Beit Lahia in the north of the coastal strip chanting “Hamas out!” and “Hamas are terrorists”.

Extraordinary footage showed demonstrators carrying banners bearing the slogan “We want to live in peace” and “Stop the War” on Tuesday.
They marched between bombed buildings, destroyed by Israel‘s blitz launched after Hamas’s deadly October 7, 2023 attacks.
The crowd gathered one week after Israel resumed the bomb blitz after Hamas refused to release anymore hostages.
The marches were later brutally dispersed by masked Hamas thugs armed with guns and batons.
Several children were among the protesters who gathered near the Indonesian Hospital in the northern part of the 25-mile long Gaza Strip.
Pro-Hamas supporters later defended the group and accused those taking part of being “traitors.”
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry claims the Israeli onslaught has killed 50,000 people in 16 months of strife since October 7.
And the vile terrorist group have long been accused of using the strip’s people as human shields.
The protests come as thousands massed at anti-government demonstrations in Israel recently.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accused the opposition of fueling “anarchy” in reponse to the protests against his leadership.
Social media messages appeared to call for nine more protests against Hamas across Gaza according to CNN.
Majdi, a protester who did not give his full name, said: “The people are tired.
“If Hamas leaving power in Gaza is the solution, why doesn’t Hamas give up power to protect the people?”
Hamas has not directly commented on the protest, but on Wednesday it blamed Netanyahu for resuming the war.
Israel has resumed its military campaign in Gaza following nearly two months of ceasefire.
It blamed Hamas for rejecting a new U.S. proposal to prolong the truce.

In response to the claims, Hamas accused Israel of abandoning the original deal made in January.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands displaced since Israeli military operations resumed with air strikes on 18 March.
Since 2007, Hamas have moved to become the effective leaders of Gaza – after winning Palestinian elections they violently ousted their rivals.
There has been open criticism of Hamas in Gaza since war began in 2023, in real life and online.
The war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, during which an estimated 1,200 civilians were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
Israel’s response saw a military offensive enter Gaza to destroy Hamas.
More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since according to Hamas, while Israel says it has killed about 20,000 militants.
