My Way News - Hamas Seizes Fatah Security Headquarters
AP reports: "Hundreds of Hamas fighters firing rockets and mortar shells captured the headquarters of the Fatah-allied security forces in northern Gaza on Tuesday, scoring a key victory in the bloody battle for control of the seaside strip."

Commentary: At some point, the media will have to declare this a civil war among the Palestinians. I suspect that they are slow to to this because they don't want to undermine the illusion of the peace process and the notion that Israel should have peace with this intemperate people. They also probably don't want acknowledge the extent to which Iran and Syria have been arming Hamas in a ploy to undermine Israel's security. War is once again on the horizon and this summer, I fear that it could easily become a regional conflagration. Keep your eye on Damascus.
