Hamas celebrating
Hamas is marking the anniversary of its 1987 founding with celebrations yesterday, hoping to show it still has broad support despite four years of rule that have led Gaza into war, poverty and isolation.
Gaza was decked out in Islamic green, with Hamas flags fluttering from roofs and lampposts. Hamas' radio and TV stations exhorted Gazans to attend a mass rally after Muslim midday prayers.
