Hamas and Fatah Fighting It Out in Gaza

(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - The series of incidents started a few days ago when Hamas flexed its muscles in the Sabra neighborhood, declaring the establishment of a militia. Fist fights and stabbings ensued, and five people were injured on the Al Azhar University campus in fights between Fatah and Hamas supporters. On Wednesday morning a Palestinian police officer and his 12-year-old son were shot to death, apparently by Hamas.

Later on, shots were fired at the home of Hamas activist Abdel-Aziz Rantisi.
