The Fatah militia, controlled by Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, assaulted the family of jailed arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency. Abbas' Presidential Guards force stopped Barghouti's daughter on her way home from university.

When her relatives arrived to help, the militia assaulted them and aimed their weapons at them. Reinforcements arrived and beat her brother, who arrived shortly thereafter, and passersby who tried to intervene.
