8 Palestinians hurt in Hamas-Fatah gunfight

From Haaretz Daily

Activists from rival groups clash during university election campaign

At least eight Palestinians were injured yesterday in the center of Nablus when a gunfight broke out between Hamas and Fatah activists.


It is believed to be the first incident of its kind since the start of the intifada.

The gunfight took place against the backdrop of elections to the student council of the Open Al-Quds University, based in the city's Rafadiyeh neighborhood.

Some six months ago, Palestinian sources reported a number of clashes between Hamas and Islamic Jihad student activists and their Fatah counterparts at various universities in the West Bank. These incidents, however, did not end in firefights.

Muslims killing Muslims and Palestinians fighting Palestinians, what is the world coming to?
