COMMENTS: Factional Fighting
Only NBC sent a reporter to the Gaza Strip where Martin Fletcher found "anarchy" as the unity government of Palestinian is "falling apart." Factional fighting between Hamas, loyal to the prime minister, and Fatah, loyal to the president, has killed at least 40 in three days. Fletcher reported that one of Hamas' tactics to halt the fighting is to shell a border village in Israel, hoping "to provoke Israel into retaliating" thereby uniting Fatah and Hamas in a joint defense. Instead "Israel decided to step up assassinations of Hamas militants." When Hamas called for a ceasefire with Fatah, it was "the fourth in four days--it lasted 24 minutes." ABC showed voiceover-videotape from Gaza; CBS did not mention it.
