The Hamas-Fatah War
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The question on the Palestinian street is no longer when civil war will break out, but when will it end. Armed clashes between Hamas and Fatah supporters have been taking place every day since the deployment of the new Hamas security force. Over the past two weeks, the homes and cars of at least seven security officers loyal to Abbas have been targeted by Hamas militiamen. Two Hamas militiamen have also been killed in separate attacks by Fatah. The unprecedented violence has been accompanied by a war of words being fought in the mosques and on television and radio stations, as well as in leaflets.
