GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Tamarod movement in Palestine had called for toppling the Hamas government on Nov. 11. But that day has come and gone peacefully, contrary to what was expected.

The Gaza streets were almost empty on the morning of Nov. 11, except for some security men at the main intersections in Palestine Square and at university crossroads. New photos of the Al-Qassam Brigades’ former chief, Ahmed Jabari, who died in the November 2012 war, decorated those areas.
