Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of Salafi activists waving Islamic State flags march in the Gaza street protesting the Charlie Hebdo magazine. They convene outside the Centre Culturel Francais in Gaza City and wave photographs of the terrorists who attacked the Charlie Hebdo editorial offices and were later killed.
On Sunday the building of the cultural center was spray-painted with slogans like “you will go to hell.”
Hamas members are said to prevent the protesters from breaking into the building. According to Reuters, many of the protesters were wearing uniforms identical to those worn by IS fighters.
