Just when you thought things couldn’t get any sillier in Gaza, now the thugs with guns are beating up the thugs with cameras:
Gunmen stormed an office of a Palestinian news service under the control of President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday, beating up one reporter and vandalizing equipment, witnesses and the news agency said.
The attack in Gaza coincided with rising tension between Abbas’s Fatah movement and Hamas over the killing last week of a senior intelligence official loyal to the president, a shooting that has further complicated efforts to form a unity government.
Witnesses said unidentified gunmen smashed a computer and destroyed other equipment at the official WAFA news agency office in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis.
The agency said one reporter was attacked and taken to hospital for treatment.
While there was no claim of responsibility, the gunmen accused WAFA of biased media coverage. Wafa has not blamed the attack on any faction.
WAFA not biased? What – are they saying that WAFA isn’t calling for Israel’s destruction and promoting jihad enough?
Can’t wait till the New York Times opens an office there
