Channels associated with Hamas are circulating a satirical video titled 'Fauda 2026' to discredit the planned anti-Hamas protests in Gaza on Thursday, labeling organizers as collaborators with IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee, according to Abu Ali Express.
Ahead of the planned anti-Hamas protests in Gaza on Thursday, dubbed the 'June 26 Revolution' by activists, channels affiliated with Hamas have launched a counter-narrative aimed at discrediting the movement. According to Abu Ali Express, the channels are circulating a satirical video titled 'Fauda 2026' — a play on the Israeli TV series about undercover operations — which portrays the protest organizers as pawns of IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee.
This is the latest development in a contest over narrative control between Hamas supporters and the nascent protest movement. As The Zioneer reported on June 14, activists — many linked to previous Fatah-aligned protest efforts — had been planning the demonstrations, and Hamas had reportedly begun arresting organizers. On June 24, a new movement calling itself the 'July 26 Revolution' was also declared, though its relationship to Thursday's planned events remains unclear.
Hamas's online supporters are attempting to paint the protesters — many of whom are Gaza residents living abroad — as collaborators with the Israeli enemy, seeking to delegitimize internal dissent. The video itself is described as humorous in tone, reflecting an attempt to trivialize the challenge to Hamas's rule. The impact of this messaging on the ground, and whether the protests will materialize, remains unconfirmed.
