Hamas Bans Fatah Anniversary Activities in Gaza Forcibly
GAZA, December 31, 2007 (WAFA) - Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Monday prevented rival Fatah movement from marking its 43rd anniversary in Gaza Strip by force.
According to Fatah officials and witnesses in gaza, Hamas militias prevented the movement's supporters from raising the movement's flags and stormed houses with Fatah flags to force the residents to remove the flags from their rooftops.
"Fatah is against all forms of crackdown, removal and accusations of treason that Hamas spreads and commits against Fatah people in Gaza," said Ibraheem Abu al-Najja, a representative of Fatah.
He added that Fatah was in no need for more rallies to show its strength in Gaza after the movement held a rally in November on the occasion of the third anniversary of late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's death.
Abu al-Najja also called on Fatah supporters to light fire at 19:00 (16:00 GMT) on their rooftops in a move to mark the Fatah anniversary.
