Were protests in Gaza 'anti-Hamas'?
Publisher’s rating: In conclusion, it's difficult to state with certainty that the protests in Gaza this week were exclusively aimed against Hamas, nor can they be said to represent a general uprising against the group. Rather they reflect a broad range of opinions held among Palestinians in Gaza, including some explicitly anti-Hamas voices, but most of all, a feeling of desperation and war weariness after over a yearof an Israeli military campaign directed against the enclave and yet another breakdown in a ceasefire. They also reveal the nuanced and dangerous situation in which Palestinians in Gaza find themselves.

The review says the circulating video combines footage from two military exercises, rather than showing U.S. Marines heading to Hodeidah or Bab al-Mandab. It identifies the first five seconds as footage from a U.S.–South Korean exercise in South Korea and the remaining scenes as footage from a 2015 exercise in Portugal.
