Hamas accused on Monday the Palestinian Authority's Fatah faction, claiming it sent security personnel into northern Gaza disguised as part of aid delivery efforts.
According to a statement from the Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza, six members of a security force, allegedly linked to the Palestinian Authority's intelligence chief, Majed Faraj, were arrested while escorting aid trucks from Egypt through the Rafah crossing. "The suspicious security force that entered yesterday with Egyptian Crescent trucks coordinated its operations entirely with the (Israeli) occupation forces," the Hamas official said.
The allegations, denied by a Palestinian Authority official, have sparked a new dispute between the two major Palestinian factions amid the ongoing conflict in the region.
