Gaza on War Footing after Israel Declares It "Enemy Entity"
[Reuters] Nidal al-Mughrabi - Hamas-run Gaza is bracing for a major incursion by Israeli forces after Israel labeled the territory an "enemy entity" on Wednesday. Masked gunmen crouch behind piles of sand, fingers on the triggers of their rifles, while others rig explosives along the streets of Gaza. Wearing brightly colored headbands, hundreds of militants have taken up positions along the border fence with Israel and in Gaza City, while ordinary people shovel sand into bags to use as barriers to block any invading troops.
