GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The armed factions in the Gaza Strip are closely following up on the ongoing protests in Iran, fearing they would affect the funding and military support that the Iranian regime provides them with.

The ongoing popular protests were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran’s morality police on Sept. 16 for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly.
