 Palestinians sources say that in all, 10 Palestinians have been kidnapped by both Hamas and Fatah throughout Wednesday. Among the abductees are three 17 year-old youths, nephews of a senior PPSS officer loyal to Fatah. Fatah also claims that Hamas gunmen have set up roadblocks and are conducting searches throughout northern and southern Gaza. Fatah says the roadblocks are preventing ambulances from reaching the conflict zones and tend to the wounded.

A spokesman for the Fatah organization in Gaza, Mahar Maqddad, accused Hamas of assassinating members of the Palestinian Preventive Security Service and a Fatah operative in Gaza on Wednesday. "Fatah will not remain silent in the face of these crimes perpetrated by Hamas," said the spokesman. Maqddad called on the factions to uphold the ceasefire agreement and make sure that Hamas honors it as Fatah has. |
