Gaza Fuel Station Owners Strike Ends
[Sydney Morning Herald-Australia] A five-day-old strike by the owners of Gaza gas stations that has been gradually emptying streets of cars and taxis ended Thursday night, said Mahmoud al-Khozendar of the Union of Gaza Service Stations. The gas stations were striking in protest of an Israeli cut in fuel supplies to Hamas-ruled Gaza in retaliation for daily rocket and mortar attacks from the area at southern Israeli towns and villages.
