Gaza kids set new basketball record

Children in the Gaza Strip have earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Seven thousand five hundred kids all bounced basketballs at the same time for five minutes.

The world record was shattered at Gaza's old international airport, which has been bombed several times by Israeli forces since 2001.

It was IMO a case of bad timing for the Melbourne attempt.

This is something they could have tried to do before and NBL game for example.

Israeli soldiers watching nearby opened fire and popped a few of the balls that were being bounced. Then they danced to "tic toc".

It would require nearly every person attending a blockbuster game to take part!? - Ok, Ok the old record was like 1,500 or something ;)
