Gazans burn thousands of tires near the border with Israel

Because of the toxic nature of the smoke, it's illegal to burn tires in California and presumably elsewhere.

This was part of a regular Hamas-organised display of Gazan attitudes towards their neighbors.  As well as air pollution, the Gazans also indulged in throwing Molotov cocktails over and placing explosives on the border fence, as well as shooting at Israeli border personnel.

Portrait pictures burnt included not only the usual subjects -- the Israeli PM and Defense Minister and the U.S. President -- but also the Saudi Crown Prince who recently recognized Israel's right to exist.
