Hamas Challenge Looms with Planned Withdrawal
(Dallas Morning News) Tod Robberson - A serious clash could be brewing as Hamas prepares to expand its presence on the streets of Gaza and in the settlement land it claims to be liberating from Israel. The potential is high for a repeat of the clashes that erupted over several days in mid-July when Palestinian security forces tried to clamp down on militias. Video footage from Gaza City showed Palestinian police pinned down by Hamas gunfire while civilians joined Hamas fighters in sacking and burning police equipment, including an armored vehicle.
