Palestinians remain convinced that launching rockets is good for their national cause - four months after such attacks sparked the seven-week conflict that brought death and destruction to Gaza.

Six out of ten believe that the attacks help "Palestinian goals", according to a poll released by the Jerusalem media and Communications Centre (JMCC).

The Palestinian research group found that only 15 per cent of respondents felt that rocket attacks harm the pursuit of national goals, while 20 per cent said that they did not make any difference.

The poll covered both the West Bank and Gaza and found that more West Bank Palestinians were in favour of violence towards Israelis than against.
