Anti-Hamas chants have been heard in a rare sign of dissent in northern Gaza during a protest in which hundreds of Palestinians called for an end to the war.<\/p>\n

Footage and images shared on social media showed people chanting, “Hamas out”, as they marched down a street in Beit Lahiya surrounded by buildings damaged in the conflict.<\/p>\n

People were also shown chanting, “We don’t want war”, while holding banners saying, “We are dying” and ‘Stop the war”.<\/p>\n

One witness, who did not want to be named, said: “It was a spontaneous rally against the war because people are tired and they have no place to go.<\/p>\n

“Many chanted slogans against Hamas, not all people, but many, saying ‘out Hamas’.<\/p>\n

“People are exhausted and no one should blame them.”<\/p>\n

Videos and photographs shared on social media were said to have been taken on 25 March.<\/p>\n

Senior Hamas<\/a><\/strong> official Basem Naim said people had the right to protest at the suffering inflicted by the war.<\/p>\n

But he denounced what he claimed were “suspicious political agendas” exploiting the situation.<\/p>\n

He said: “Where are they from, what is happening in the West Bank?<\/p>\n

“Why don’t they protest against the aggression there or allow people to take to the streets to denounce this aggression?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The comments, reflecting tensions among Palestinian factions over the future of Gaza<\/a><\/strong>, came several hours after the rival Fatah movement called on Hamas to “respond to the call of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip”.<\/p>\n

Fatah leads the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the protest showed Israel<\/a><\/strong>‘s decision to renew its offensive was working in Gaza, where Hamas police – the group’s enforcers – have again disappeared after emerging during a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed<\/a><\/strong> by the Israeli campaign in Gaza, according to the territory’s health ministry.<\/p>\n

The Hamas-run authority does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but has previously said more than half of those killed in the conflict were women and children.<\/p>\n

The war began when Hamas militants carried out a cross-border raid into southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing 1,200 people and capturing around 250 hostages.<\/p>\n

Israel responded with an air and ground offensive in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
