Residents of Gaza got a special treat Saturday when 20 bodybuilders contended for the title of "Mr. Gaza."

 

Around 500 residents of the Strip attended the competition, where men took the stage wearing nothing but briefs and flexed their well-oiled muscles.

It was not the first time such an event had been held in Gaza, but it has certainly become a rare sight since Hamas' takeover of the Strip.

 

The competition was funded by the Gaza City University.
