Hamas bans lingerie displays in Gaza Strip
Scantily-clad mannequins and pictures of underwear models are to disappear from clothes shops in the Gaza Strip after officials announced new rules.

The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which controls Gaza, said that the new rules were to protect "public morality".

The ruling comes two weeks after the organisation banned women from smoking water pipes.

Hamas has repeatedly denied it intends to impose Islamic Sharia law in Gaza.
