  • GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Police in Hamas-ruled Gaza have started grabbing young men with long or gel-styled spiky hair off the streets, bundling them into jeeps, mocking them and shaving their heads, two of those targeted and a rights group said Sunday.

    It is the latest sign that the Islamic militants are imposing their strict practices on the population.

    Hamas has been slowly forcing its fundamentalist interpretation of the religion on already conservative Gaza since it overran the territory in 2007, but the new crackdown on long hair and tight or low-waist pants — in several cases accompanied by beatings — appears to be one of the most aggressive phases of the campaign so far.

  2. Mohammed Hanouna had spiky hair and HAMAS find offense to this? That hair is not long or freaky at all. Hair styles are like the weather Wait a while they will change.

    HAMAS is sowing the seeds of hate & discontent & ti will be their downfall.
