Palestinian Tension Rises With Hamas Warning

Palestinian tensions in Gaza surged yesterday as the ruling Hamas movement issued a warning to a strongman of the rival Fatah faction a day after his vitriolic attack on the Islamists at a huge rally. In a statement released in Gaza, Hamas accused Mohammed Dahlan, a Fatah MP, of running a “putschist movement” aimed at bringing down the Islamists’ government “on the orders of his boss (US Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice.”

“We place the responsibility for each drop of Palestinian blood spilled personally on Dahlan along with his putschist movement,” Hamas said. “We firmly warn against any attempts on Hamas leaders, members of its armed wing or its executive force. Those who play with fire will be burned,” it added.
