Crowds gathered at several mosques and the city's center on Tuesday, chanting slogans of triumph against Israel.

Hamas officials say they want to express their solidarity with the armed resistance. Nine rallies were planned across the coastal territory. A Hamas spokesman said the rallies are meant to send a message to the world that Hamas is still continuing its resistance.
