Chaos continues to reign in Gaza
 Johnson! Stop the presses!! Gaza - Ma'an - Palestinian security sources announced on Thursday that the dead body of a Palestinian man, Muhammad Abu Hijaila, was found near the Shuja'iyya market in north-eastern Gaza Strip. The sources reported that the corpse was found riddled with gunshots and the reasons for his death remain unclear. That "riddled with gunshots" thing maybe have sumthin to do with it? On the other hand, there were several tit for tat abductions in Gaza City on Thursday; two Fatah-affiliated men were kidnapped near Al-Quds Open University in the southern Gaza Strip. Moreover, unidentified gunmen abducted an unidentified woman in Sheikh Zayid square in the northern Gaza Strip. So would that make this one a "tits for tat" kidnappings? Meanwhile, the Palestinian independent corporation for citizen's rights reported that the Gaza Strip is witnessing a state of security confusion with masked gunmen dominating the streets despite the formation of the unity government™. Hey! C'mon, guys! Unity government™, remember? Everything's supposed to be all better now! Didn't you get the memo? The corporation added that 29 Palestinians were killed during March as a result of the security chaos; 25 were killed in the Gaza Strip and 4 in the West Bank. Nine of the victims were killed in the Hamas-Fatah conflict, while 8 met their end due to weapon misuse and general chaos. Four others died in clan conflict and 3 women were killed as a result of so-called 'family honor' crimes. The last five people were killed in unknown circumstances. Polar bear attacks? Werewolves? Running with scissors? Just tryin to help out... In the same context, 46 people were abducted, including one foreign journalist. Furthermore, at least 120 Palestinians were injured in various incidents related to political and tribal conflicts, among other conflicts. Red Sox-Yankees? Taste great-less Filling? Paper-plastic?
