Fatah Rally Breaks Up in Fights in Gaza
(Telegraph-UK) Fatah led tens of thousands of supporters Friday in a mass rally in Gaza, the first such gathering since Hamas seized power in 2007. While Friday's rally pointed to improving ties between Hamas and Fatah, officials cancelled the event halfway through after 20 people were injured and shoving matches erupted between separate Fatah factions. Witnesses said one pushing match was between supporters of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and partisans of Fatah's former Gaza security commander Mohammed Dahlan. One Fatah official said hundreds of Dahlan supporters jumped up on the stage and clashed with Abbas supporters.
