Hamas force arrests members of Fatah clan in Gaza

Hamas security forces arrested at least 30 members of the Fatah-affiliated Abu Amra clan in Gaza City on Saturday, in what the Islamist group said was a raid targeting criminals but the family said was politically motivated.  It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured.

Hamas security officers said the raid was aimed at confiscating weapons and drugs, and had no political motivation. "There was a decision to raid the place and confiscate the drugs and arms," said security officer Fayez Hassan. (Reuters)
