Gazans gather to foil air strike
Large numbers of Palestinians have converged on a home in Gaza belonging to a senior member of the ruling Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The move follows reports the Israeli air force was about to attack it, but there has been no conformation of this. The Israeli army often orders people in Gaza out of homes ahead of attacks. It says this is to avoid casualties. Similar action on Saturday caused Israel to call off an air strike on the home of another militant leader. The building is in Beit Lahiya, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Reporters say the owner of the two-floor house told him that the Israelis have warned him that they plan to attack his home. Mosques in Gaza have been calling on volunteers to assemble to protect the house.
A BBC correspondent says there is a crowd in the street and young men with Hamas flags were sitting on the roof.
