Hamas Declares Victory in Rallies Across Gaza
[AP] Karin Laub and Ibrahim Barzak - Waving green Islamic flags, Hamas held more than a dozen victory rallies across Gaza attended by thousands of supporters Tuesday. Addressing a crowd near Gaza City's demolished parliament building, Ismail Radwan, a Hamas leader, declared: "Gaza is not our goal. The liberation of all of Palestine, from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea, God willing, will be achieved." Gaza resident Jawdat Abu Nahel dismissed Hamas' victory claims. "We can't talk about real victory because there were thousands of martyrs, and we didn't liberate anything," he said.
