Palestinian gunmen attempted early Sunday to fire mortar shells at the northern Gaza Strip settlement of Dugit, one week after Palestinian Internal Minister Nasser Yousef said Palestinian security forces would take every effort to return law and order to the Authority. The Palestinian Internal Ministry released a statement following the incident, warning factions to halt all attacks on surrounding Jewish settlements. “The Ministry will take all necessarily measures to uphold law, security and order,” the statement said, adding that attacks on settlements are harmful to Palestinian life and property. “The Internal Ministry is calling for all Palestinian organizations to obey the law and to protect Palestinian interests, instead of acting according to partisan interest,” the statement read. Yousef’s “partisan interests” probably refers to al-Aqsa's announcement at the end of last week that it would establish a field court martial “to take into consideration corrupt members within the organization and the Fatah party, and to punish those who have exploited the Palestinian nation.” Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has also discussed the issue of corruption in the Fatah party and has ordered the establishment of an official commission to trail senior PA officials, in a bid to put an end to the “illegal profiting by senior officials.”
