Hussam al-Astal, the commander of an anti-Hamas armed militia that operates in the eastern Khan Yunis area, published a video in which he claims that his men eliminated the head of the investigations department in Hamas's Khan Yunis police.

He harshly calls out Hamas and claims, "This is a man who harmed civilians, tortured and killed, and made the lives of the residents a nightmare.

Hell, not only that but there have been anti-Hamas demonstrations in coastal Gaza, which remains standing, being too close to the sea to build viable tunnels (so IDF didn’t have to clean them out), with businesses open and well-fed customers going about their daily business, except for the demonstrators. Tousi covered it with videos, but the rest of the media pretended every last inch of Gaza was in ruins, and everyone was starving. There were also anti-Hamas demonstrations in 2019, which were memory-holed by you-know-who.
