Chairman of the Hamas faction in parliament Khalil al-Haya, told a crowd of tens of thousands at a Hamas rally in Gaza Friday that “(Palestinian President Mahmoud) Abbas has declared war on Allah and on the will of the Palestinian people.”
“We warn before it’s too late that we shall strike with an iron fist all those involved in hurting our leaders and members, and those responsible for the attempt to assassinate the prime minister,” he added.
It has spread to the West Bank.
Twenty Palestinians were wounded, two critically, in exchanges of fire between warring factions in the Palestinian Authority Friday.
Sixteen people were wounded in Ramallah, four in Gaza. Fatah officials reported that several Hamas gunmen have barricaded themselves in the Nazer mosque in the city of Ramallah and are firing at Fatah and Palestinian security forces inside the mosque compound.
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of terrorists.
Let’s wish both Fatah and Hamas the best of luck.

This is getting serious. I don’t think Hamas even tried to blame the Mossad for yesterday’s assassination attempt.
(Which of course means that this is the perfect time for our boys to make some moves.)
Watch for the UN to denounce Israel for not intervening…
I feel like the Iran-Iraq war or the 2000 World Series–I just want both sides to lose, bloodily.
And yes, Russ, this will be blamed on Israel. If they intervene it will be blamed on them, if they don’t intervene it will be blamed on them.
