The eruption of anti-Hamas protests across the Gaza Strip last week was a win for Israel, which has called for a popular revolt against the Palestinian terrorist group. Israel's renewed military campaign in Gaza appears to have triggered the protests by weakening Hamas's control of the strip and its credibility with the population. The protests were the largest display of opposition to Hamas since its Oct. 7, 2023, massacre and mass abduction in southern Israel, which was widely celebrated by Palestinians.
