Fatah official badly beaten in Hamas-run Gaza
[IsraelTimes] A bigwig with the Paleostinian party Fatah is badly beaten up in the Gazoo Strip on Monday, with the group accusing the strip’s Islamist rulers Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, of responsibility.Hamas denies the claim and pledges to investigate the attack, which comes amid days of violent crackdown by its security forces on protests in Gazoo. Atef Abu Seif, front man for Fatah in Gazoo and a member of its central committee, was beaten by a group of men near his home in the enclave, the official Fatah-aligned Paleostinian news agency Wafa says. Pictures posted on Wafa show Abu Seif with a bandaged head and leg, with his clothes speckled with blood. Mahmoud Aloul, deputy chairman of Fatah, accuses Hamas of carrying out an liquidation attempt. Iyad al-Bozum, front man for the interior ministry in Gazoo, condemns the incident, telling AFP "the police are investigating the attack." Posted by: trailing wife 2019-03-19 |
