Footage published today shows a large crowd of Palestinians marching in the streets of Khan Younis, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to end the war in Gaza.

“The people want a ceasefire! Netanyahu and Sinwar, we want a ceasefire. Enough with war and enough with the destruction!” they are heard chanting.

While calls for a ceasefire directed at Israel are common, ones by Palestinians in Gaza directed at Sinwar are far rarer.

It is unclear when exactly the footage was taken but it is published a day after the IDF released another clip of Palestinians protesting in Gaza with one sign apparently calling on Hamas to release the hostages.

While the protest in yesterday’s clip featured largely women and children, today’s appears to be largely men in a possible sign that discontent is growing.
