Three wounded in Gaza strip.

---

As violence continues in Palestinian territories because of the cleavage between the different Palestinian factions, a senior Palestinian officer was critically wounded in southern Gaza strip in Rafah as his car came under fire, once the attackers made sure the guy was wounded or about to die, they escaped.

 

The man in question was a Fatah loyalist and an officer, a colonel in the preventative security force in Gaza, his bodyguard and a young girl were wounded in this attack as well. Unfortunately the incident came after the two rival factions (Hamas and Fatah) agreed to maintain calm by a ceasefire, but the hatred and anger was so strong that none could control itself.

 The clashes focused especially on Nablus and Gaza strip, the policy of each faction is different one is radical and other moderate, the issue of early elections which was the idea of Mahmoud Abbas didn’t make it easier and Hamas think, Abbas want to erase this Islamic party from the political scene, Abbas and the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert are supposed to meet on Saturday in Olmert’s house in Jerusalem to discuss the issue and try to stop the fighting between Hamas and Fatah and also improve the relations between Israel and Palestine and go beyond the past events to build a better future.
