A day after a ceasefire was declared between Fatah and Hamas, the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate. A day of violence passed in the Gaza Strip with no sign of calm.
A former minister of the Fatah, Sufian Abu Zayde, was kidnapped by Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Abu Zayde was released after mediation by Egypt an hour and a half after he was taken.
In this kidnapping, Hamas retaliated for the abduction of Imad Dib, a Hamas officer who was kidnapped earlier today by Fatah operatives. Fatah called the kidnapping of Abu Zayde a crossing of all red lines.
Firefights continued throughout the day in the Gaza Strip. One Fatah operative was killed and 15 Palestinians were injured.
