Hamas arrested 25 Fatah terrorists on Thursday in Nusseirat, in central Gaza. According to Fatah terrorist Bassan Al-Anani, Hamas gunmen burst into the Al-Anani family’s house and beat and arrested several occupants. Al-Anani accused Hamas of persecuting members of Fatah.
Hamas spokesmen denied that the terrorists were arrested due to their membership in Fatah. Hamas’s Executive Force intervened in a fight between two clans in Nusseirat, they said, and arrested those involved. 12 members of the Al-Anani family were arrested for throwing stones at the Executive Force, Hamas members said.
