In Gaza, tensions between Fatah and Hamas are rising after three young boys were murdered on their way to school. The boys were the sons of a senior intelligence official linked to President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement. Gunmen fired 70 shots at the car carrying the children, who were between the ages of six and 10. At least two other children were hurt. Following the attacks, armed Fatah members tried to storm into the compound of the Palestinian Parliament in Gaza. On Sunday, gunmen believed to be linked to Fatah attacked the convoy of a leading Hamas official—Interior Minister Saeed Seyyam. He was unharmed in the incident.
