Gaza police to enforce ban on male salon workers
Gaza – Ma'an – De facto government police will begin enforcing an Interior Ministry recomendation to prohibit men from working in women's hair salons, a Friday statement said.

Reports of the ban surfaced Thursday, as observers marked the move as the latest in a series of laws restricting personal freedoms in the coastal enclave. Over the past four months, women have been prohibited from riding motorcycles, and men have been banned from removing their shirts at the beach.

The latest ban targeting women's hair salons was signed by de facto Minister of the Interior Fathi Hammad, set to be enforced by the Gaza government's police.

A separate statement from the local police in Gaza said those violating the ban would be "tracked and punished."

2. In my opinion, decidedly unfunny response to bad situation.
