"""The mood of the people is high despite
the siege, despite the Israeli aggression," said Dr. Hassan Khalaf, director of
Al Shifa Hospital here, where many of the Palestinian dead and wounded were
taken. "To be killed while smiling or while confident or not confident, the
final outcome is death," Dr. Khalaf added. "At least now we feel like we can
injure the Israelis while they try to harm us."""
