GAZA CITY: Tens of thousands of Gazans gathered at the Israeli border on Saturday to mark a year since protests and clashes erupted there, but fears of mass bloodshed were averted after late Egyptian-led negotiations.
Israel's army said around 40,000"rioters and demonstrators" had gathered in spots throughout the border. Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim called Saturday's protest"a very important message" that thousands had gathered"peacefully to raise their voice against aggression and the imposed siege on Gaza." The anniversary came only days after another severe flare-up of violence between Israel and Hamas, sparked by a rare long-range rocket strike from Gaza. An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire restored calm.
