Gaza City - With horns blaring, hundreds of Hamas supporters on Thursday took to the streets in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza to celebrate their party's historic election victory.

Truckloads of supporters waving the party's traditional green flags drove through the Islamist stronghold with some militants firing in the air in celebration.

Youths wearing green bandanas or baseball caps hung out of car windows as they careered along the dirt streets of this impoverished camp, shouting Islamic slogans and making victory signs with their fingers.

Celebrations were more muted in Gaza City itself where partisans of the rival Fatah faction had already been out in force on Wednesday in a premature celebration.
