Who are the Palestinians?
Gaza women turn heads with bike rides
Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Four Palestinian women have turned heads in the Islamist-run Gaza Strip by doing what would pass unnoticed in many other places in the world: riding their bicycles.
When Sleibi takes her five-kilometre (three-mile) rides with her friends, all wearing leggings, jackets and trainers, she doesn't hesitate to stop to buy a bottle of water near a checkpoint run by Hamas security forces.
She says they greet her with a smile, like some of the drivers they pass, including those who stop to watch them go.
