Object: PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS BLOW EACH OTHER UP REAL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In six days of mayhem, 47 Palestinians have died in infighting and
another 17 were killed by Israeli strikes. The latest casualty was a
40-year-old Palestinian fisherman named Samir Amodi, who was shot in
the head by a sniper in Gaza City's harbor.

"Our retaliation for (Fatah's) crimes is going to be beyond their
imagination," Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas's military wing, told
The Associated Press.
Gen. Jamal Kayed, Fatah's security commander in Gaza, said his group
had already begun implementing the cease-fire but claimed Hamas was
not willing to follow suit.
Walid al-Awad, a member of a committee set up to implement the cease-
fire, said his team worked late into the night to get the sides to
withdraw, but to no avail.
"Nothing has been implemented, and I have warned both sides that this
a time bomb that is sabotaging our efforts," al-Awad said.
The fighting between Hamas and Fatah has all but destroyed their two-
month-old power-sharing deal and brought them close to all-out civil
war.
By most accounts, Hamas' performance in the latest round of internal
fighting has been superior to Fatah's, with greater discipline and
more motivated fighters.
Although Israel said it was not taking sides, the airstrikes did make
it harder for Hamas gunmen to move around and that could help Fatah's
fighters.
Hamas commanders instructed their fighters on walkie-talkies to avoid
riding in vehicles, talking on cell phones or gathering in large groups
-and to evacuate buildings known by both Israel and Fatah as Hamas
hangouts.
The Israeli strikes have introduced a new layer of violence and
uncertainty. A senior army official, speaking on condition of
anonymity because no official decision has been made, said Israel had
no immediate plans for a major ground offensive to halt rocket fire.
There was no sign of any Israeli military buildup that would indicate
plans for a serious intervention, though a few tanks and soldiers
moved just across the Gaza border on Thursday.
"Israel will take every defensive measure to stop these rocket
attacks. We will defend our citizens against the rockets, against the
weapons, against the Iranian-backed Hamas who are attacking Israel,"
government spokeswoman Miri Eisen said.
Analysts said Israeli policy makers were probably trying to walk a
fine line to avoid uniting Palestinian factions into a common front
against Israel. But Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, a
retired general, said Israel could not stand idly by while Palestinian
rockets continued.
"We have to show them one thing, that the moment you fire, we shall
return fire," he told Israel Radio.
Hamas Web sites, radio and TV carried accusations that forces loyal to
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas were working with Israel-a charge
dismissed as "absurd" by a Fatah spokesman.
On Friday, Hamas TV named three Fatah security chiefs who it said were
in secret contact with "foreign" security personnel to exchange
information on Palestinian militant groups.
"They are deep into treason, and we will deal with them accordingly,"
the broadcast said. The TV did not specify which foreigners, but Fatah
forces affiliated with Abbas have received advice and training from
the U.S.
With his aides citing security concerns, Abbas canceled a Thursday
trip to Gaza for talks with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.
