Ayman Nofal (L) , a top Hamas armed commander, is greeted by his mother upon his arrival to his home in Nusairat in the Central Gaza strip February 5, 2011. A senior Hamas commander returned to the Gaza Strip on Saturday after breaking out of a Cairo jail during the political upheaval in Egypt, sources in the Palestinian Islamist movement said. They said Ayman Nofal had been arrested in the Egyptian Sinai in early 2008. He was greeted by a celebratory crowd, some of whom fired shots in the air. Photo by Ashraf Amra
