On Tuesday, Palestinian reports out of Gaza said that Gaza residents had attacked Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri Saturday evening, near the Shifa Hospital.

Abu Zuhri arrived at the hospital for an interview with a news outlet. The hospital has often been featured as a backdrop for news interviews in order to elicit sympathy for the plight of Gazan civilians.

However, this time, the civilians had had enough of being used for Hamas’s political propaganda.

Residents of Gaza City, which has been heavily bombarded by Israel due to Hamas’s use of civilian neighborhoods to launch rockets at Israel, attacked the spokesman and blamed him and Hamas for the death of family members and for destruction of their homes.

This is not the first time that civilians in Gaza have expressed mal-content with the way they have been treated at the hands of Hamas.

Last week Hamas shot over 30 civilians who spoke out against the regime. Hamas then claimed that they were collaborators with Israel.

In Tuesday’s incident, armed Hamas terrorists from the Izz Al-Din al-Qassam Brigades had to extricate Abu Zuri from the angry mob and subsequently arrested the angry residents.

Arabic sources as well as Breaking Israel News have previously reported that reporters in Gaza are well aware of these types of  incidents but are afraid to report the truth, fearing for their lives as Hamas militiamen routinely bully and threaten those who do.
