Coordinated blasts hit Gaza

As reported in 'The Japan News': The Associated Press, GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A series of coordinated explosions targeted the homes of several leaders of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah Party in the Gaza Strip early Friday, a party official said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the explosions occurred at a time of rising tensions with the rival Hamas movement. Fayez Abu Eitta, a Fatah leader in Gaza’s Jebaliya refugee camp, said no one was hurt in the near-simultaneous attacks. Hamas seized control of Gaza from Fatah in 2007. The rival parties have recently pledged to reconcile, but there are still deep differences.Speech
