In Gaza, Parkour Brings Youngsters a Taste of Freedom
2021-01-28
IN WHICH the first independent digital medium in Lebanon admires Hamas’s physical training for junior jihadis.
[AnNahar] Parkour, an extreme sport also known as free-running, originated in La Belle France in the 1990s.

It involves navigating urban obstacles using a fast-paced mix of jumping, vaulting, running and rolling.

In Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, young people have been practicing parkour for years; bounding from ruin to ruin in an enclave pockmarked by three wars between Israel and the armed Islamist movement Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,, which has ruled Gaza since 2007.
