[Ha'aretz] Amira Hass - There was not a single public commemoration in Gaza of the fourth anniversary of Arafat's death. Rallies scheduled for Gaza cities were canceled by order of the police, Fatah officials said. Printers were ordered not to print any material related to Arafat or his picture without approval. The security forces have increased their presence on Gaza streets and are randomly stopping cars, especially at night. A Hamas spokesman said no arrests were made, but people were invited for a short talk with the police.
