(IsraelNN.com) Methods of torture used by Hamas terrorists against Fatah supporters have been revealed by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. It disclosed that Hamas Executive Forces arrested 15 people because of their participation in a Fatah-sponsored prayer service and rally. One victim said she was violently beaten and suffered fractures to her hand and jaw.

In another arrest the same day, Hamas blindfolded and beat people. "During the interrogation, they violently beat me and hit my head to the wall until I fainted," one person told the human rights group. "They also cut my hair... They hanged me with a cord, and started to beat me violently until I fainted again. Later, they took me to a toilet and ordered me to clean it with my hands. They forced me to sign a document pledging not to cause chaos or insult Hamas, and then released me."
