Beit Lahiya: Fatah member shot dead
Anonymous sniper kills 24-year-old al-Aqsa Brigades member in northern Gaza town; Fatah blames Hamas for attack
Fatah-Hamas clashes continue: A member of Fatah’s armed wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades was shot to death Wednesday in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya.
An anonymous sniper shot Alla Inaya, 24, killing him on the spot.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades accused Hamas gunmen of killing the man.
Following the shooting Inaya’s family members, along with al-Aqsa gunmen, blocked nearby roads and chanted anti-Hamas slogans.
The various Palestinian organizations, headed by Islamic Jihad, are working to ease tensions and have the factions sign a treaty that would ban infighting; these efforts have not yielded any significant results as of yet.
In another incident a Hamas member was injured when a bomb went off in Gaza City. It is estimated that the wounded Palestinian, who serves as Interior Minister Sayeed Siyam’s body guard, sustained the injury while preparing the bomb. A Hamas member was killed Tuesday under similar circumstances.
