A commenter in one of the many posts about the conflict pointed out something I find very interesting: while 60+% of Palestinians do have at least a slightly positive view of Hamas, 70% of them believe that Hamas should relinquish control of all militias to the PLO. And this poll was before the attack.

To me, this points to Gazans having at least a slightly positive experience with Hamas run infrastructure, while wanting them to cut out the violent attacks.
