Gaza report: Friday’s weekly protests called off due to holiday
A Hamas-affiliated TV channel is reporting that Friday’s weekly border protests are canceled this week.
Al-Resalah says “The National Commission for the March of Return and Breaking the Siege decided that events this week will be limited to performing Eid al-Adha prayers in the Malaka camp east of Gaza City and the Return camp east of Khan Younis.”
It said the committee decided not to hold rallies “to ease the situation for citizens and allow them the opportunity to prepare for the blessed holiday.”
