Hamas has deployed operatives and uniformed personnel at locations where anti-Hamas protests were scheduled to take place in the Gaza Strip, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. Goldblatt says this intimidation campaign is aimed at preventing the planned demonstrations without mentioning the organizers or specific locations.
Hamas has deployed armed operatives and police officers at locations across the Gaza Strip where anti-Hamas protests were planned for later today, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. In a post on X, Goldblatt described this as an attempt by the group to assert its authority and intimidate potential protesters into staying home. The analyst's report does not identify specific protest locations or organizers, but it comes amid known calls by Gaza-based activists for demonstrations against Hamas rule.
As The Zioneer reported on June 14, Gaza activists had been planning a 'June 26 Revolution' protest campaign against Hamas, and the group was reported to have begun arresting organizers. Goldblatt's assessment suggests the crackdown has expanded to include visible presence at protest sites rather than only preemptive arrests.
