For the third consecutive day, Palestinians in southern Gaza have staged rare protests against Hamas, demanding the group's removal and an end to the ongoing war. Sparked by worsening humanitarian conditions and statements by Hamas leaders, demonstrators in Khan Younis chanted “All of Hamas, out!” despite risks of violent reprisal. Many protesters joined while collecting food, holding pots in hand. Activists blame Hamas for prolonging suffering while Israel intensifies airstrikes. Public dissent in Gaza remains perilous, with reports of beatings and killings for criticism. Protesters, undeterred, say their struggle is for peace and survival—not political control. (PC: BBC)
