Hamas killing unleashes violent unrest in Gaza
A Palestinian militant with ties to Hamas was killed yesterday in a car bomb in Gaza, unleashing factional unrest that left three others dead and 35 wounded, in the first direct threat to the Islamic group’s new government.
Followers of the militant blamed security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement for the assassination yesterday, raising the possibility of wider clashes just two days after Hamas assumed power.
