Anti-Hamas protester hospitalized in Gaza after he was beaten by Hamas operatives, activists say

Activists in Gaza say on social media that Ahmad al-Masri, a known figure in the anti-Hamas protests in the northern Strip, was beaten by Hamas operatives and hospitalized in recent days.

In footage and images circulated online, Al-Masri can be seen with injuries to his legs, apparently as a result of the attack.

According to the reports, he was hospitalized at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. His condition is currently unclear.

Al-Masri, a resident of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, had been filmed in recent months holding a sign during protests that read, “Hamas does not represent us,” referring to the people of Gaza.

In another video from a demonstration, he is heard saying: “We don’t want Hamas. Hamas has destroyed us. Enough!”

هكذا كرّمت ميليشيا حما$ المواطن أحمد المصري، الذي صمد في شمال قطاع غزة طيلة الإبـ ـادة، وكان من المساهمين في إفشال خطة الجنرالات لإفراغ الشمال من أهله.
كرّمته بالخطف، وتهشيم أطرافه، فقط لأنه خرج وقال: “حما$ لا تمثلنا.”
