"Disgruntled over the merchants and stores' owners undermining of their call for a general strike, groups of armed Fatah men drove in the Palestinian streets, hysterically firing their machineguns in a bid to frighten the public and impose their factional agenda on them. In Jericho, a Palestinian storeowner was gunned down with bullets of those vandal gangs after rejecting their call to close his store.
In central Gaza city, masked armed men forced pupils out of their schools in Al-Buraij refugee camp at gunpoint, and wounded five teachers in a nearby secondary school for rejecting their calls to suspend classes. The teachers charged that PA policemen (loyal to Abbas) stationed in the area rejected their appeals for intervention to stop those gangs and arrest them.
Armed Fatah men opened their machinegun fire at house of PA deputy-premier and education minister Dr. Nasser Al-Dein Al-Shaer in Nablus city. One of Shaer's bodyguards was seriously wounded, and another one sustained a bullet in his right leg. Shaer was released last week from Israeli jails after one month of detention at the hands of the IOF troops. Tens others of PA ministers and lawmakers (all from Hamas) were also kidnapped and are still languishing in Israeli jails.
Meanwhile, the PFLP broke its silence towards what is happening in the PA-run lands, and accused certain quarters in Fatah faction of inciting against the PA elected government and Hamas Movement. Maher Al-Taher, one of the PFLP's senior political leaders abroad, blamed Israel, America, and the rest of countries involved in besieging the Palestinian people for the deteriorated security condition in the Palestinian arena, adding that in addition to the external conspiracy, groups from within the Fatah faction were also participating in strangling the PA government and instigating their followers against it."
