One of the individuals killed was 22-year-old Oday Nasser Al Rabay. According to his family, he was detained, subjected to physical abuse, and later died in custody. His remains were returned to his relatives over the weekend.

Footage from Al Rabay’s funeral appears to show attendees chanting slogans critical of Hamas, including calls for the group’s removal from power. These demonstrations—some of which occurred in Beit Lahia and the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City—reflect rising discontent amid the ongoing war and worsening humanitarian conditions in the Strip.

International human rights organizations have raised concerns about Hamas’s response to dissent, citing reports of arbitrary detentions, intimidation and use of torture against political opponents.
