Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip are taking to the streets to celebrate the cease-fire reached after an 11-day war between Hamas and Israel.
At 2:00 a.m., just as the cease-fire took effect, frenzy of life returned to the streets of Gaza. People went out from their homes in the night for the first time since the war began, shouting ``Allahu Akbar,'' whistling from balconies, and many firing in the air.
More rallies are expected across the Gaza Strip later Friday.
