“Hamas popularity among the populace who are actually living now in shelters, in tents and makeshift, you know, communities is declining,” one pollster told NBC News.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    TEL AVIV — It’s become a tragically familiar scene in the Gaza Strip: After seeing her slain son’s corpse, a Palestinian woman screams in agony.

    Her startled companion reaches to cover her mouth, insisting the woman’s teenage son died a martyr as she quickly ushers her away.

    The poll also showed that Hamas only has the support of about a quarter of residents in the enclave, where the death toll since Oct. 7 passed 38,000 this week, according to Palestinian health officials.

    In a separate video that went viral after it was posted to social media last month, a man can be seen screaming before a small crowd gathered in front of a hospital in Gaza.

    Their maximalist positions set them apart from the Palestinian Authority, who rule over the occupied West Bank, recognize Israel and are seen by many Hamas supporters as cowardly collaborators.

    Several recent years of more muted anti-Israel attacks lulled the Israelis into believing the group had moderated its views or at least turned its focus toward internal governance.
