Cant believe Im still alive In Gaza itself thousands flooded onto the streets in celebration, some firing joyfully into the air, among them gunmen from Hamas, AFP correspondents said. Chanting and clapping, they surged through the battered streets, bellowing songs of victory as a man swathed in a huge green Hamas flag threw handfuls of sweets into the air. Thank God the war is ended. I cant believe Im still alive with my kids! 32-year-old Maha Khaled said. It was a very harsh war. I never thought that we would see peace at the end. Cars jammed the streets, their horns honking incessantly, as beaming women and children flashed victory signs and crowds of young men bounced up and down on rooftops, waving flags. As night fell, there was no letup in the celebrations as the rhythmic thud of drums beat a celebratory pulse and a performer breathed fire to entertain the ecstatic crowd. Today Gaza showed the world that it is resisting and that it is stronger than Israel, said Tamer al-Madqa, 23.
