Gaza Protest Broken Up by Armed Hamas Force - Isabel Kershner
Members of the Hamas Executive Force broke up a demonstration by Fatah, Hamas's rival, in Gaza City on Friday, firing into the air and briefly detaining journalists who were trying to document the events, according to news media reports. The anti-Hamas protest, which came amid growing signs of restiveness, was the largest since the militant Islamic group seized control of Gaza after a week of factional fighting in June.
