Inside Gaza, a Landscape Marked by Violent Change
[Washington Post] The intensity of Hamas' military rout of Fatah forces last week and the accounts of doctors, fighters and survivors who witnessed it suggest that a furious score-settling had taken place. Raji Sourani, 53, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said three fighters were shot dead at point-blank range while recovering from wounds in Gaza's hospitals. Many other summary executions happened in the streets, he said, implicating both Hamas and Fatah. After a Hamas-issued ultimatum for Fatah forces to give up their guns expired Friday, Hamas fighters began going door-to-door seizing rifles and ammunition, working from lists seized in the security posts.
