PA-Hamas Clashes Wound 15

(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - At least 15 Palestinians were wounded Tuesday in clashes between PA security forces and Hamas activists in Jabalya and Gaza City. For the first time, the Palestinian Preventive Security force, headed by Rashid Abu Shabak, deployed armed members of Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and units known as "death squads," according to Palestinian sources. The Palestinian police prefers to deploy the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades rather than face a head-on clash with Hamas, which has fielded a group of its own, known as the Murabatun. In Ramallah, Tayeb Abdel Rahim, Abbas's bureau chief, warned that "Hamas is playing with fire and...the PA will have no choice but to defend itself and the national project. If not, only chaos will remain in the Gaza Strip and we will lose everything."
