Hamas security chief hurt in Gaza ‘assassination bid’
[IsraelTimes] Tawfiq Abu Naim, director general of the internal security forces, said to be in moderate condition after kaboom in his car; Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, sources say Islamic State button men main suspects.

The head of Hamas security forces in the Gazoo Strip was injured Friday when his car went kaboom! in what the Hamas interior ministry called "a failed liquidation attempt."

It did not immediately give details of the source of the kaboom, in central Gazoo.

"Tawfiq Abu Naim, director general of the internal security forces, survived a failed liquidation attempt Friday after his car was blown up in the Nusseirat refugee camp," a ministry statement said.

"He was moderately maimed and was treated in hospital," it added. "The security services immediately began investigations to discover the circumstances of the incident and to catch the perpetrators."

The incident comes at a time of tension within Gazoo as its Hamas rulers are to start handing over power to the West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority of Fatah leader and Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
Both Hamas and Fatah condemned the incident and blamed it on "enemies" trying to undermine the reconciliation. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
neither named the enemies, an unusual step for Hamas, which routinely blames Israel for such events.

A Hamas source told the Ynet news site that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
affiliated Death Eaters were the main suspects.

As part of the Paleostinian unity deal that was brokered by Egypt, Hamas has had to crackdown on the IS button men who have been active on both sides of Gazoo’s border with Egypt have been fighting a bitter insurgency in the Sinai that has killed hundreds of Egyptian soldiers.

Abu Naim has been leading the recent Hamas efforts against IS.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
the Popular Resistance Committees, a group of smaller terror groups in the Strip, blamed Israel, saying "the fingerprints of the Zionists are clear."

Abu Naim was a former prisoner that Israel freed with hundreds of others in exchange for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.
