Valin Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Jerusalem Post: KHALED ABU TOAMEH 08/07/2014 Hamas continued Thursday to issue threats to resume attacks on Israel unless its demands for a long-term cease-fire are met. The threats came as thousands of Palestinians participated in pro-Hamas rallies in the Gaza Strip. The rallies began after noon prayers when thousands of Palestinians took to the streets chanting slogans in support of Hamas. Carrying Hamas’s green flags, the demonstrators also called on the Palestinian groups to launch rockets at Tel Aviv. Hamas also called for similar rallies in the West Bank following Friday prayers.
