Grenade Attack In Gaza Security Compound Injures Three
Shaveta Bansal - All Headline News Contributor Gaza City (AHN) - Rocket propelled grenades were fired on Tuesday at a security compound in the Gaza Strip, moderately wounding three maintenance workers. Security personnel fired at the attackers, but the assailants escaped. The agency is loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas and has been at the center of a power struggle between Abbas and his main rival, Hamas. According to a report by the Associated Press, officials in Abbas' Fatah movement blamed Hamas for the attack. However, Hamas accused the Preventive Security agency of being behind a wave of unrest in Gaza. Tuesday's attack came as Abbas was meeting in the West Bank with top officials ahead of an expected decree calling a referendum on a plan that implicitly recognizes Israel. Hamas opposes the referendum. Clashes between forces loyal to Abbas and Hamas have left 16 people dead in recent weeks.
