GAZA, (PIC)--

At the invitation of the Hamas Movement large masses of the impoverished Gaza people will be heading at noon Thursday towards the main gates of the Mintar crossing east of Gaza city in the context of the popular activities organized to break the Israeli siege.

Ashraf Abu Daya, the spokesman for the Hamas popular work committee, invited all international and local media outlets to cover this event and to broadcast the real humanitarian tragedy experienced by the Gaza people.

Abu Daya stated that the Palestinian masses would revolt today with all determination and steadfastness in the face of their besiegers even if they were killed after they ran out of patience, holding all participants in the siege fully responsible for what might result from the event.

The spokesman underlined that the message of the Palestinian angry masses in Gaza to the Israeli occupation is that if the siege continues they will turn into time bombs exploding against their besiegers.
