After Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement to end the horrific two-year conflict in the enclave, Palestinians in southern Gaza rejoiced, applauded, and danced Thursday in the predawn darkness.
“Allahu akbar” (God is the greatest) was chanted joyfully by a group of about a dozen young guys outside Khan Yunis’s Nasser Hospital as one man carried another up onto his shoulders.
Also visible above the throng was a man shouting into a microphone while wearing a journalist’s press vest.
