Palestinians in southern Gaza have once again erupted in protest against Hamas and the war, with demonstrations entering the third day.
Hundreds of protestors were heard saying, 'Out! Out! Out! All of Hamas, out!' as they demanded an end to the war and the dismissal of the Palestinian terror group.
During the massive anti-Hamas protests in Khan Yunis, Gaza, protesters declared: 'We have two words to deliver—Hamas out, out.'
For the third day in a row—no media coverage, no headlines. Just thousands risking everything to speak out against Hamas.

According to a report by the BBC, any defiance against Hamas by the people of Gaza is dangerous. Earlier this week, Hamas reportedly circulated threats on journalists' WhatsApp groups, forbidding them from publishing any 'negative news that could affect the morale of the people'.
Activists say the protests began on Monday with young people and soon drew in others who were heading to community kitchens—some still carrying their cooking pots. The demonstrators expressed outrage toward Hamas's leadership, sparked by a widely shared social media clip of senior official Sami Abu Zuhri's interview.
In the podcast, Zuhri said Israel is 'eternal', adding, 'We will rebuild the houses and produce dozens more babies for each martyr.'
In recent months, anti-Hamas protests have gained momentum in northern Gaza. However, activists say the group has maintained a firm grip in the south, where it has, until now, effectively stifled public dissent.
'The people do not care any more about Hamas' attempts to suppress their voice because they are literally dying from hunger, evacuation, and the bombings. Resistance was not born with Hamas, and even if Hamas is gone, there will be other faces of resistance [to the Israeli occupation]. But this current policy will cost us all of Palestine and the nation,' one of the protestors told the BBC.

Meanwhile, the UN said Wednesday it had 'dispatched' around 90 trucks carrying aid into Gaza, as international pressure intensified over Israel's renewed offensive and blockade of the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
The first aid distribution in Gaza since early March came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was open to a 'temporary ceasefire', but reaffirmed the military aimed to bring the entire territory under its control.
