CAIRO — Palestinians chanted against Hamas during anti-war protests in the Gaza Strip, witnesses said Wednesday, in a rare show of public anger against the militant group that has long repressed dissent and still rules the territory 17 months into the war with Israel.

Palestinians protested in northern Gaza, where they reportedly demanded an end to the war in anti-Hamas protests. The last major protest against the terror group occurred in 2019.

“They want us to be silent while the Israeli government continues its genocide, wiping out entire generations of Palestinian families, dropping American bombs on hospitals and dismembering children over and over again,” Tlaib said in a “protect the first amendment” rally posted to X on Tuesday.
