Thousands attended the funeral of the three children of a top intelligence officer of the Fatah organization who were killed yesterday in Gaza in a driveby shooting which was intended for their father. The shooters were not caught but suspicion lies over the operatives of Hamas. The tensions between the two parties peaked today as calls for revenge rose from the crowds who came to see the children off.
Fatah's top man in the Gaza Strip, Muhamad Dahlan, called for the government to apprehend and punish the killers and intimated that Fatah was capable of hurting Hamas's top operatives.
In the shooting many others were injured and the driver of the children also perished. The children were aged 3, 6, and 9. Fatah officials called upon president Abu Mazen to dissolve the government and call for reelection. Ismail Haniyeh, the Prime Minister of the Hamas organization was quick to denounce the shooting and declared that every action to capture the killers will be taken.
