GAZA, June 12 (KUNA) -- While the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)
Tuesday condemned ongoing clashes with the Palestinian National Liberation
Movement (Fatah), Palestinian National Security blamed Hamas for ongoing
infighting.
In a press release in the West Bank, Hamas condemned ongoing clashes with
Fatah.
No matter what, all infighting is rejected and what was going on went
against the principles of Palestinians who are living under a brutal
occupation, said Hamas.
The movement urged all its members to observe self control and avoid taking
part in any clashes.
On its part, Palestinian National Security forces said what was going on in
Gaza was in reality a military coup against military and security systems,
adding that attacks by Hamas' fighters were also attempts to overthrow
Palestinian presidency and cabinet.
In a press release, the forces said they will counter all attacks through
all possible means, adding that Palestinian National Security included legal
forces, unlike assailing militias.
Tuesday clashes between Hamas and Fatah left about 20 Palestinians injured
and a member of the forces, Rezq Safi, was killed in central Gaza. (end)
