The Aljazeera articles are gone, not sure how that works but it looks like they hide articles as they write them (they are usually tiny anyways). But from what I saw it's a mix of people wanting action for hostages and some being upset about Gallant's firing. Times of Israel is covering the "unrest" in Israel if you need a source, Western media seems to be ignoring it completely other than mentioning Netanyahu's aide's leaks.

It's a lot more than that.
The Haredim either are or are bout to go a-rioting again because the IDF announced the intention to draft 6k of them. And yes, they DO have a history of rioting. They particularly like to throw rocks at law enforcement, but somehow don't get shot for it, unlike Palestinian children (Hell, even Israeli Arab children don't get shot for it that often, do they?)

The level of unrest is a fraction of what it would be since Bibi conveniently passed a wartime law (due to the invasion of Lebanon) which limits public gatherings to 2k people. (The Haredim are NOT going to obey this.)
Though in the past couple days the world has witnessed a major-ass escalation in that a trio of rioters shot flares at Bibi's state-funded (though it's not supposed to be) Caesarea home (yeah, among other things, he has the state repairing his bigass outdoor pool) Israelis are also unhappy that their country is still getting bombarded by Hezbollah rockets damn near every day. This was has absolutely devastated sensitive habitat, BTW, particularly in northern Israel (probably southern Lebanon as well) IIRC something like 70% of Israel's northern forests have burned down.

In addition there are countless minor issues, mostly linked to classism and institutionalized racism which contribute to a lesser degree. From the record gang violence in Arab sectors of Israel (thanks largely to Ben Gvir ignoring them) to a lack of bomb shelters in the north and for racial minorities (due to institutionalized racism, most everything built in Arab sectors is illegal. This is because a mixture of poverty and institutionalized racism makes getting a permit next to impossible for Arabs and Bendoin. Jewish Israelis living near the northern border also tend to get the shaft compared to those living in or near cities. Iron Dome missiles sometimes land or drop deadly shrapnel in the north and kill inhabitants (usually Bendouin or Druze, but sometimes Jews)
Due to the war time budget cuts, the social safety net is greatly reduced, while the far right coalition nonetheless allocates funding to aliyah (encouraging foreign Jews to move to Israel) yet they've drastically cut the housing and business assistance which is normally given to them.
The religious Zionists and ultra Orthodox are increasingly attempting to force their religion on everyone else (often on a local level) This includes forcing construction crews to observe the sabbath, which leads to dangerous incomplete constructions looming over highways on Saturdays and Sundays, where normally these are the best two days for construction due to decreased traffic.
Oh, while most do not disagree with it, the tariffs on Turkey kinda hurt the Israeli low and middle class as well, since Turkey was where they imported a lot of their food from for cheap.
And that's just the shit that I can think of.
