Israel to open Gaza Strip crossing to journalists
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Gazans filled mosques for Friday prayers without fear of Israeli strikes for the first time since the war against Hamas ended, feeling a mixture of grief, shock and relief.
Israeli naval guns were largely silent after weeks of nonstop fire along the Palestinian territory's coast, as the cease-fire declared by both sides last weekend held.
