Khaled Meshaal said “the victory of Gaza did not appeal to those who wagered on the defeat of the resistance and there is a desire to tighten the screws on the resistance which shows fortitude in the face of the occupation.†The Damascus-based Hamas leader underlined that despite all these efforts resistance will continue in the coastal enclave . In a related incident, hundreds of people gathered on the Palestinian side of Gaza‘s southern border with Egypt on Monday, protesting the underground barrier Egypt is building. The demonstrators chanted slogans calling for a lift of an Israeli blockade imposed more than two years ago and urged Egypt to stop building the steel wall.
