Hundreds of Gazans took to the streets on Wednesday for a second day of anti-war protests, with many calling for Hamas to leave in a rare show of dissent against the militant group in the shattered Palestinian enclave.
Many of the banners carried by protesters who took part in Wednesday’s demonstrations called for an end to the devastating war in Gaza, during which Israeli forces have reduced much of the enclave to rubble, without referring to Hamas directly.
But in a rare display of public anger against the militant group, which even after 17 months of war still wields substantial power in the enclave, some protesters also chanted openly against it.
