Hamas firar 21 år

300.000 palestinier samlades idag vid en arena för att lyssna på Hamas ledare Ismail Haniya. Haniya sa att Hamas inte kommer att förnya sommarens vapenvila sålänge Israel inte accepterar alla villkor. Vapenvilan slutar gälla den 19:e december.

"There have been sporadic violent clashes along the Israeli-Gaza border in the past two months, with both sides accusing each other of violating the truce.
Israeli troops have carried out raids within the Strip while Hamas fighters have launched rocket attacks on southern Israel.
Israel has since stepped up its blockade of Gaza, which has attracted widespread international criticism, until, it says, Hamas puts an end to rocket attacks."
