GAZA city, Gaza Strip-total some two dozen Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to pay tribute to slain al Qæda leader Osama bin Laden.
Around 25 people keep pictures and posters bin Laden together outside a Gaza City university. The Crowd included al-Qaida sympathizers as well as students who said they opposed to bin Laden's ideology, but was angry at the United States to kill him and consider him a martyr.
Hamas police not to interfere in the demonstration.
In the weeks prior to bin Laden's death, a study in the Arab world by the Pew Research Center found support for the al Qæda leader had fallen dramatically in recent years — although it remained the highest among the Palestinians.
The study said around one third of the Palestinians trøde bin Laden would do the right thing in World Affairs, which still represented a dramatic decline from a few years ago, when overwhelming numbers approved by him.
On Monday denounced Ismail Haniyeh, Prime minister of the Hamas Government in Gaza, U.S. operation against bin Laden, whom he hailed as a "Muslim and Arab warrior." Still, the Islamic Hamas have always distanced themselves from al-Qaida's militant Islamic ideology, says its fight against Israel, not the West.
Al Qæda supporters have often accused Hamas of being too moderate and clashed with them.
Isræls channel 2 TV broadcast video Tuesday from Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam's third-holiest site, displays a Palestinian preacher mourning for bin Laden, called him "a hero" and "a lion of Islam," curse President Barack Obama and throw insults at Pope John Paul II.
The video showed him preaching for a few dozen listeners.
The police said in Israel, they will have security around sensitive sites, including the airport, the US Embassy, U.S. Consulate and areas where U.S. officials live, in the case of revenge attacks.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld characterized reinforcements as the precautionary principle.
