A meticulous plan, drawn up by Hamas, the Islamic resistance movement, with tactical guidance from their Iranian mentors, was being put into action, and to devastating effect.
It was designed to defeat, once and for all, Fatah, the secular Palestinian nationalist party that talked peace with Israel. And it worked with lightning speed in a fratricidal three-day war in which at least 116 people died.
Inside the security headquarters, Abu Fadi, a Fatah intelligence officer, could hear what was happening to his colleagues. Their masked attackers had sprinted in, heedless of casualties. Their doors had been kicked down and they had been dragged outside, their arms flailing in gestures imploring mercy.
Then the black-masked gunmen bowed their heads to the dust in prayer and separated those of their foes who might live from those about to die.
The victims were killed immediately, some in front of their wives and children, said a Palestinian witness hiding in a building overlooking the scene.
The witness, who gave his name only as Amjad, got on the phone to a local reporter in Gaza and told him: “They are executing them one by one.” --- Times On Line
How will this out of control situation be contained by the moderate Arab states in the region? How can Israel be expected to contain itself if the Quassam rockets again begin to reign in on Israeli cities? How in fact could such rocket attacks NOT be considered an act of war between Palestine and Israel?
By the way... anyone hear from that useless of world organizations the U.N. lately?
