House that means a gathering in gaza so organizers called for an increased turnout at the weekend border protest hamas which controls the strip had warned of a return to more direct confrontations but its now saying the demonstration will be control follows the arrival of a cutter in boyle thursday bringing 11000000. 00 into the territory. Fossett joins us live now from gaza hi there how re so hows that pavan in some way made for a quieter friday than we might otherwise have seen. Were certainly hamas have been talking about a return to some of the previous measures that weve seen at these protests in months past such is the use of incendiary devices potentially getting closer to the fence and so on theyve been talking in that language earlier this week now that this payment has gone through this 11000000. 00 which is destined for some of the poorest families inside gaza the committee which organizes these protests in which of course hamas has an extremely large voice it came out at 3 oclock this morning saying that it wanted to ensure that people stayed back from the fence that we know such use of incentive devices and thats why they wanted a large turnout because this is to mark the 50th anniversary this process is to mark the 50th anniversary of the fire that was set in side the mosque in jerusalem by an australian christian who believes he was trying to bring on that the 2nd coming of jesus christ they want large numbers but they dont want to see major confrontations today and that seems to be how things are playing out certainly there are large numbers of hamas security around. They had been trying to prevent people getting through into this well the israelis term a buffer zone in front of the defense of course we have now seen hundreds of people go in to that area but theyre not getting too close there has been some use of life we hear that there have been 9 injuries so far at the various sites up and down the border but here we havent seen a large amount of life and relatively limited use of tear gas as well from the israelis so so far the seams are relatively controlled and in relative terms quiet event. Its been amongst to some degree of heightened tensions hasnt is there a chance to think things could escalate. Certainly always a concern and particularly at the moment given 2 things really one is as you say a number of events since the 1st of august there have been a number of attempts by armed palestinian men to get through the fence and they have been shot and killed theres been helicopter and tank fire used in at least one instance instance by Israeli Forces those attempts have been talked about by hamas is sort of rogue element
