God is greatest and thanks to God, chant Gazans as Israel-Hamas truce takes hold
India Today
Gazans took to the street as cars packed main roads with people waving flags to extol the start of a Hamas truce with Israel that ended 11 days of hostilities.
When the fighting halted, the celebrations began. Unable last week to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the joyous Muslim feast marking the end of the Ramadan fasting month, many Gazans took to the street at 2 a.m. on Friday to extol the start of a Hamas truce with Israel that ended 11 days of hostilities. "God is greatest and thanks to God," they shouted in Arabic. Cars packed Gaza's main streets, drivers honking their horns and waving flags from the windows, in scenes reminiscent of past celebrations of truces and prisoner releases.More Related News
