#1 news yesterday made it look like Hamas was winning, most casualties on the Fatah side, and Hamas grabbing turf. Local Fatah bhoys screaming at Abbas to relax the ROE. Today it seems thats happened, Abbas rhetoric is up a notch, and the Fatahniks seem to have grabbed the TV station, though not clear if they can hold it. And hint of reinforcements from the National Sec Service on the way.

Meanwhile the Egyptian envoy threatened to lead civilian protests. Hows that for egypt disrespecting the distinction between Pals and Egyptians?

#4 The attacks have even targeted the house and the office of Prime Minister Ismail Haniya and the presidential compound.

Nice to see that the capos are getting a chance to share the joy.

PCHR strongly condemns such fighting which is not of the ethics, sacrifices and struggle of the Palestinian people

Horseshit! Never in recent history has there been a more bloodyminded bunch of thugs to walk the face of this earth. With Arafat's death more than one channel for cash flow finally opened up and they've been squabbling over it ever since.

PCHR would like to apologize for not being able to report on many details of this fighting as its staff members have not been able to move freely and it's office in Gaza City has been besieged by the exchange of fire.

Someone stole our media jeep and painted "TV" on it!

a number of militants traveling in a civilian car kidnapped 'Amru Nabhan al-Rantissi, 21, a member of the 'Izziddin al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of Hamas). His body was found later on Khan Yunis Rafah road.

Gene pool getting cleaner

Call it, like, a Snow Day, Palestinian version...

Bwahahahah!!! Now thats a keeper!

the kidnappers of Mohammed Salama al-Swairki pushed him down from the 13th floor of al-Ghefari tower

"We've got'cher Flying Imams, right here!" Or as W.C. Fields would say; The first twelve floors are all right, its that last one thats a doozie. At least they're learning how to conserve on ammo.

#5 Still more smoke than fire. Things will only really pick up when they start butchering large numbers of civilians.

#6 They took him to a place near Ansar seceurity compound in the west of Gaza City, where they shot him dead with several gunshots to the chest, the abdomen and the limbs.

Soon after, the situation in Gaza City deteriorated
