Deep dives

Hamas's Brutal Repression of Dissent

Hamas is resorting to extreme measures, including executions and torture, to quell public protests against its governance in Gaza. For the first time since taking control in 2007, thousands of Gazans have expressed their dissatisfaction with Hamas, sparked by the group's handling of the ongoing conflict following the recent breakdown of a ceasefire with Israel. In a shocking incident, a 22-year-old protester was tortured and his body was displayed as a warning to others, escalating tensions and resentment among locals. Despite these brutal actions, the protests have continued, signaling a significant loss of support for Hamas among the very people it claims to represent.
