<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Dozens of Palestinians  and foreigners demonstrated Tuesday near the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border  crossing in the northern Gaza Strip, for the first time ever waving the  Palestinian flag on the crossing gate.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">This came during a weekly demonstration  staged by the Local Initiative in Beit Hanoun under the framework of the  popular resistance against the Israeli occupation and military  imposition of the so-called prohibited security, or buffer, zone.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Demonstrators from the Local Initiative  accompanied by four foreign supporters successfully reached the crossing  gate where they waved the Palestinian flag on the east side of the  crossing on the territory of Beit Hanoun, in a new achievement for the  initiative, which made it to the gate for the first time.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The initiative’s general coordinator Sabir  Al Za’anein said today marked a new achievement for the popular  resistance against Israel’s imposition of the buffer zone and the  success of local initiative activists in entering the farmlands to which  Israeli authorities have restricted access.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">On his part, British activist Addie  Marmash, 32, said: We support the struggle of the Palestinian people in  their right to popular resistance against the Israeli occupation.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He added: The Palestinian people have been  under occupation for decades, and we international activists and  believers in the just cause of the Palestinians work to support the  Palestinians in light of difficult circumstances the Palestinian  residents of the occupied territories live in.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He underlined that solidarity movements with the Palestinians throughout Europe are on the rise.</p>
