When terrorist fight each other

Haaretz:

A security officer belonging to the Palestinian Fatah faction was pushed off the roof of a 15-story building to his death in Gaza City, security officials said, hours after gunmen from rival Hamas and Fatah factions engaged in deadly gunbattles in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on Sunday.

Mohammed Sweirki, 25, who served in the Fatah-linked Presidential Guard, was kidnapped earlier by Hamas gunmen near the apartment building from which he was later pushed. His death set off skirmishes in several parts of the city. At least 11 people were wounded in the fighting, medical officials said.

The kidnapping of Sweirki and several other Fatah men sparked a brief clash between the Fatah and Hamas gunmen in Gaza City earlier Sunday. Masked gunmen, believed to be from Hamas, stopped a car carrying Fatah men and detained them for questioning. Fatah forces rushed to the area, and briefly exchanged fire with the Hamas members.

Tensions have remained high in Gaza since an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire took effect in mid-May. Some 50 Palestinians died in internal fighting last month alone.

An estimated 616 Palestinians have been killed in factional fighting since Hamas defeated Fatah in elections in January 2006, a leading Palestinian rights group said in a report released Wednesday.

It is laughable to call the current situation a cease fire. One of the big differences in this fighting and when they fight Israel is the absence of "victim" pictures with lurid scenes of outrage and grief. Perhaps it is because killing each other is no big deal or it is because the photographers know they would be killed if they took pictures like that of the red on red action.
