| Blast targets home of Abbas ally in Gaza | |

| [IsraelTimes] Two kabooms hit the Gazoo Strip, police say, including one targeting the home of an official from Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ’s Fatah party. There are no casualties. Police and eyewitnesses say the first blast struck at around midnight in eastern Gazoo City outside the home of Nayef Khuweter, a Fatah official in the territory. Fatah condemns the attack, saying it would "disrupt" attempts at reconciliation with terror group Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, which controls the Gazoo Strip. In a separate incident, a car went kaboom!in Nuseirat refugee camp of central Gazoo. The Hamas-led police say they are investigating both blasts, for which there are no immediate claims of responsibility.
[IsraelTimes] International aid workers open a new desalination plant in the Gazoo Strip, bringing some relief to a territory where 97 percent of the water is undrinkable. It is the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-ruled territory’s second and largest desalination plant. While it will not solve Gazoo’s water woes, officials say the project marks an important step. "Despite the small production, this gives symbolism to Gazoo residents that the train of water solution is now on track," says Monzer Shublaq, director of Coastal Municipalities Water Utility in Gazoo. The plant will initially produce 6,000 cubic meters of water a day, a small fraction of Gazoo’s needs. In all, the population uses 150,000 cubic meters a day, most of it from a depleted coastal aquifer. The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... says it invested 10 million euros, or $10.6 million, in building the plant with UNICEF. It has pledged a similar amount for a second phase meant to double capacity by 2019. Hamas, the Paleostinian terror group that rules Gazoo, did not participate in the project, and is not represented at the ceremony. | |

| #4 the latest fatah-hamas concord is about the 7th time they've done this the previous times, the agreement broke down within weeks, basically because they hate each other - a lot |
