Palestinian security men protest over salary crunch.
Masked terrorists armed with automatic weapons storming a building is a “protest?”
GAZA (Reuters) - Dozens of Palestinian security men stormed a government building and blocked roads in the Gaza Strip on Saturday demanding the Hamas-led administration, hit by a U.S. and European Union aid cutoff, pay overdue salaries. …
“Salaries, or go home,” the protesters chanted in the central town of Khan Younis, directing their message at Hamas in the biggest such demonstration since the Islamic militant group assumed power last month following its January election victory.
The security men, some of them firing in the air, burst into a government building in the town, briefly occupying offices and forcing workers to leave. They also blocked roads leading south to Rafah, on the border with Egypt.
