(Ynet News) Ali Waked - Ten thousand Hamas terrorists paraded with weapons through the streets of Gaza City on Sunday in the group's largest show of force in years, defying Palestinian efforts to ban public arms displays. Hamas leaders vowed to continue fighting Israel as tens of thousands cheered and waved the group's green flags. "We will not rest and will not abandon the path of jihad and martyrdom as long as one inch of our land remained in the hands of the Jews," said Raed Saed, a senior Hamas leader in Gaza City. "We are celebrating our victory in Gaza and now we are headed toward Jerusalem, Nablus, Acre, Haifa, the Galilee, and all of Palestine," he said. "We are here addressing a clear message to whom it may concern that anybody who tries to crack down on Hamas is going to fail," said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas leader.
