Calm right now in Gaza City


I just drove through the city center of Gaza City, and right now it is calm here. Lot's of Hamas police on the streets, but I have not heard any shooting for an hour or two. According to local sources, there were seven persons killed earlier today, in conjunction with the mass rallies arranged by Fatah to commemorate Arafat.

Let’s hope it stays quiet. But when talking with local colleagues, they fear that there will be renewed violence tomorrow, when the victims of today are being buried. And the circle goes on and on…

Meanwhile, the sun is slowly setting over the Mediterranean, and the weaves keep pounding the beach outside my hotel room.

Som vanligt otroligt intressant att följa dina inlägg Marko. Verkligheten kommer betydligt närmare än via TT. Fortsätt blogga - men glöm aldrig att ta det försiktigt.
