Palestinian protesters throw stones at Israeli soldiers from behind a road blockade they placed on the main road leading from the West Bank town of Ramallah to Jerusalem, next to the checkpoint of Kalandia , 02 January 2009. Hamas declared 02 January a "day of rage" to mark one week of incessant Israeli air raids in Gaza, and vowed to avenge the killing of a top leader, Nizar Rayan, along with nearly his entire family in one airstrike in northern Gaza the previous afternoon. Tens of thousands of Palestinians demonstrated after Friday prayers throughout the West Bank in solidarity with Gaza, with at least 3,000marching in the central city of Ramallah. Israel meanwhile continued to focus on, and keep up, its air raidson the seventh day of its offensive, with ground troops waiting along the border for orders to enter.
The Jewish nation is preparing for an intense assault from Hamas a day after killing one of the group's chief political leaders. Heavy security is now in place at most checkpoints in the occupied West Bank and the area has been sealed off by Israel.
Analysts say Israeli leaders may have felt pressed to mount a military operation in Gaza ahead of elections next month. The attacks could boost support for centrist candidates against the right-wing Likud Party's frontrunner Benjamin Netanyahu.
Worldwide criticism is directed at both sides in the conflict. Speaking at the White House after updating the President on the situation, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Hamas has been holding the people of Gaza hostage since what she called an "illegal coup" against Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and blasted the group for using Gaza as a launching pad for rocket attacks against Israeli cities.
Meanwhile, an estimated 3,000 Afghans protested in Kabul today burning effigies, flags and chanting anti-U.S. and Israel slogans. Large protests were also held in Jordan, India, Iran, and Russia.
Hopes of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip have been dashed after seven days of violence that has led to over 400 Palestinian deaths, and left 1,700 more injured.
Israel continued to strike Hamas targets in the area today as militants fired rockets into the Israeli port of Ashkelon in retaliation.
In today's fighting, two Palestinians were killed in a home and two people were injured in Israel.
