Hamas could resume ‘return marches’ along Gaza border with Israel

The Supreme National Committee in Gaza, which is coordinated by various Palestinian organizations including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, announced on Wednesday the reorganization of the “return camps” along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

According to the Hamas-affiliated Al-Risala website, work has been carried out to prepare an area dedicated to these camps in the northern Gaza Strip, with actions set to begin as early as today.

The site also reports that this initiative should be a step towards the resumption of weekly “return marches” along the border, aimed at protesting against the blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel and Egypt, a measure taken to limit the influence of terrorist groups based in the Palestinian territory.

In the past, these marches have been marked by violence and clashes with Israeli security forces on the other side of the border: stone-throwing, explosive charges, shoot-outs, sabotage of the border fence and attempts to penetrate Israeli territory.

Explosive and incendiary balloons were also thrown into Israeli territory during these marches.
