Fatah blasts Hamas over 'crimes' during Gaza operation

Fatah’s Central Committee on Saturday night issued a strong condemnation of Hamas, accusing the Islamist movement of targeting Fatah cadres during the war and stealing humanitarian aid.

The attack is seen as a sign of increased tensions between the two parties in the aftermath of Operation Protective Edge and could jeopardize the reconciliation agreement between them.

During the war, Fatah and Hamas refrained from criticizing each other and continued to insist that their reconciliation deal, which was signed last April, had not been affected.

But the statement issued by Fatah shows that the gap between the two parties remains as wide as ever.

The statement accused Hamas “militias” of committing the "ugliest crimes and encroachments” during the war against Fatah members in the Gaza Strip.

It said that Hamas “militias shot and beat dozens of Fatah members, some of whom were transferred for medical treatment in Ramallah, Hebron and Nablus.
