3. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Kamal Zarif, local resident:
“This is natural and expected because of the practices of the occupation over so many years, like the killing of people in Gaza, Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, and what has happening in Al-Aqsa Mosque with the attempted Judaization of it. This pains the Arab world, the Islamic world. The resistance has reacted to all of these practices. This time the response to these practices was varied, widespread and big.”

“We say to our brothers in the security services, the Palestinian Authority, and politicians, to end the cooperation with the occupation and return to the foundation of resistance and security together against the occupation in order to found a movement to liberate all of occupied Palestinian territory from these occupiers and this occupation.”

STORYLINE:
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank marched in celebration on Saturday after the militant Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel at daybreak.

Militants fired thousands of rockets and dozens infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land and sea and catching the country off-guard on a major holiday.

The Israeli military struck targets in Gaza in response for over 2,000 rockets that sent air raid sirens wailing constantly as far north as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

It said its forces were engaged in gunfights with Hamas militants who had infiltrated Israel in at least seven locations.

The violence came after weeks of heightened tensions along Israel's volatile border with Gaza, and heavy fighting in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Israel has maintained a blockade over Gaza since Hamas, an Islamic militant group that opposes Israel, seized control of the territory in 2007.

The bitter enemies have fought four wars since then.

There have also been numerous rounds of smaller fighting between Israel and Hamas and other smaller militant groups based in Gaza.

The blockade, which restricts the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza, has devastated the territory's economy.

Israel says the blockade is needed to keep militant groups from building up their arsenals.

The Palestinians say the closure amounts to collective punishment.
