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.

Near two destroyed Gaza City mosques, men spread carpets on sandy ground to prepare for open-air prayers. In the main market of the Jebaliya refugee camp, large crowds shopped ahead of prayers and restaurants fired up huge vats with meat, cooking on wood fires because of a shortage of gas.
