Hamas Commander Killed by Fatah in Gaza - Ali Waked
Ali Haddad, a senior commander of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, was killed Tuesday in an exchange of fire with Fatah members in Gaza. According to eyewitnesses, gunmen stopped the car in which Haddad was traveling, opened fire and killed him. Nine people were injured in the shooting. Hamas accused Fatah members serving in the Preventive Security Service of being responsible for the murder. Palestinian sources said Haddad was accused several months ago of being responsible for the killing of an officer in the Preventive Security Service in response to the killing of a senior Hamas member.
