The Fatah movement announced in a demonstration held on Monday in Gaza that Israel will never enjoy security unless the Palestinians will enjoy it.

The secretary of the movement Ahmad Halas said during the demonstration which was attended by some 15,000 Palestinians that the Israeli occupation "will never enjoy security as far as the Palestinian people are exposed to aggressions, killing, assassination, and besiege." News reports said that on the wake of the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon's visit to the US, the number of the Palestinian victims of the Israeli occupation in Rafah, and the two Palestinian camps in Deir al-Balah and Gaza increased two 6 including children.
