No injuries were reported in the confrontation between members of supporters of President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah group and Hamas’s Executive Force that has taken on policing duties in the area.

“Jihad, jihad! (Holy war),” demonstrators chanted as they marched down the streets of Gaza City, applauding as others smashed an unmanned Hamas security post on the roadside.

Dozens of protesters threw rocks at a security post the Executive Force commandeered during the brief civil war against Fatah fighters two months ago.

Witnesses said Hamas security men opened fire in response, peppering a storefront with bullets…

Hamas security men detained three journalists, including a photographer from French news agency Agence France-Presse, witnesses said. They also smashed a journalist’s television camera and roughed up and threatened a Reuters photographer.

“They were beating me from behind, not heavily,” said Reuters photographer Abed-Rabbo Shana, adding that a Hamas gunmen pointed his rifle at his legs and threatened to fire…

Hamas is confused if they are now attacking their best friends — the media.
