A Fatah Colonel killed in Gaza




A Fatah Colonel of the Palestinian Security Forces was shot and killed this morning in Gaza.


The Colonel was riding in a car when spurts of fire were opened on it. The Colonel dies on the scene, his bodyguard an a passerby 9 year old girl were injured. No organization claimed responsibility for the incident, though the common assumption is that Hamas operatives were involved.


Earlier a gunfight ensued in the vicinity of the Presidential residence in Gaza. No injuries were reported in the skirmish.


The ceasefire which was declared two days ago lies in shambles as violence continues in Gaza and, to a lesser degree, in the West bank.
