Days after cease-fire, Gaza border demonstrations to resume
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Paleostinian organizers of the weekly demonstrations in the Gazoo Strip along the Israeli border said they will hold another protest on Friday - in a key test of this week's cease-fire between Israel and Gazoo Lion of Islam groups.
Tuesday's cease-fire ended the heaviest fighting between Israel and Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers since a 2014 war.
The fighting was fueled in part by the demonstrations. Since late March, thousands of Gazooks have joined the Hamas-led demonstrations in a bid to end a crippling Israeli blockade.
Protesters frequently lob grenades, flaming tires and Molotov cocktails toward Israeli troops, who respond with tear gas and live fire. Some 170 Paleostinians, many of them unarmed, have been killed by Israeli fire. Israel says it is defending its border against Lion of Islam attackers.
Hamas had lowered the intensity of the protests in recent weeks as UN and Egyptian mediators made progress toward an unofficial agreement with Israel.
But then this week's fighting erupted after a botched Israeli undercover military operation in Gazoo.
Gazoo bandidos Lions of Islam fired 460 rockets into Israel, while the Israeli air force struck 160 targets in Gazoo. The fighting left a total of 14 Paleostinians, including 12 Lion of Islams, dead. An Israeli officer was killed during the Gazoo raid, while a Paleostinian laborer who worked in Israel was killed in a rocket attack.
In their announcement, protest organizers in Gazoo urged people to demonstrate on Friday "to thank the resistance" for battling Israel.
It remained unclear how big the protests would be, and whether the demonstrators would confront the Israeli troops, or keep their distance as in recent weeks.
Hamas and its supporters have celebrated the cease-fire as a victory against the powerful Israeli military.
