Collaborator Abbas steps up civil war against Al-Qassam resistance fighters



Around 1000 members of the PA security apparatus in the West Bank loyal to former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas are encircling a building in Qalqilia claiming that Qassam Brigades activists are inside.

A Palestinian Information Center reporter said that the security men in 70 military jeeps were surrounding the home of Abdul Fattah Shreim, who is currently in detention.

The clashes erupted between the two parties when PS security forces arrested family members of Qassam fighters in an attempt to pressure them into surrendering themselves.

Palestinian sources reported that Riyadh Zeinuddin, one of those security men, was killed in the standoff.

There is rising angeramong Palestinians over the continued war against resistance fighters with the support and official patronage of the Israeli occupation forces.

Hamas held the commander of the preventive security force in Qalqilia fully responsible for the lives of the besieged Qassam fighters.

Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas spokesman, told PIC that Abbas's security was trying to assassinate three Qassam commanders.

Abu Zuhri asked the Hamas activists not to surrender to Abbas's security.

The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in an urgent press release, "We warn the Abbas/Dayton gangs from committing a new crime in Qalqilia".

The security forces, loyal to Abbas, a few days ago killed two Qassam commanders in Qalqilia and the owner of the house they were inside.

Meanwhile, MP Mahmoud Musleh said that PA forces refused to allow him and a number of his colleagues to enter Qalqilia on Wednesday.

The deputies lashed out at the PA authorities for such an "irresponsible act", asking the Palestinian people to be watchful for "dimensions" of such a procedure.

They said that the measure was an infringement on the law that grants immunity to the MPs.

MP Mona Mansour said that the Israeli roadblock at the entrance to Qaqilia allowed them to pass and it was PA security that actually prevented their entry. She said that the lawmakers were heading to Qalqilia to extend condolences to families of the Qassam martyrs who were killed by those apparatuses.

In another development, Abbas's security men kidnapped two Palestinian women from Ein refugee camp in Nablus and from Tulkarem.

On Wednesday PA security also kidnapped Ghufran Al-Zamel, the sister of a prisoner in Ramallah jails, from the refugee camp and Abir Al-Hudairi, who is the sister of two martyrs, from Tulkarem.

'Coronavirus-free' Gaza prepares for the worst

Until now, the besieged Gaza Strip has stayed free of  the novel coronavirus  spreading across the world. As the Gaza Strip has been under a stringent Israeli-led blockade for nearly 13 years, the spread of the coronavirus - officially known as COVID-19 - has become the topic of discussion for many Palestinians, with  some joking  that the blockade was preventing them from being exposed.But as authorities in the coastal Palestinian enclave gear up to contain any potential outbreak, serious questions have arisen about the risks and implications of such a scenario.  But given its already difficult humanitarian situation and high population density, an outbreak in the Gaza Strip could prove to be catastrophic, health officials have warned.  "If the virus enters Gaza and spreads, it will get out of hand," Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson Majdi Thuhair told Middle East Eye, as he explained that a severe shortage of resources and personnel would make it near impossible
