'Hamas torturing Fatah members in Gaza'


By KHALED ABU TOAMEH  <mailto:khaledat at zahav.net.il> 


Hamas militiamen have rounded up hundreds of Fatah activists on suspicion of
"collaboration" with Israel during Operation Cast Lead, Fatah members in the
Gaza Strip told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. 

They said the Hamas crackdown on Fatah intensified after the cease-fire went
into effect early Sunday morning. 

 

The Fatah members and eyewitnesses said the detainees were being held in
school buildings and hospitals that Hamas had turned into make-shift
interrogation centers. 

Hamas has also renewed house arrest orders that were issued against
thousands of Fatah officials and activists in the Gaza Strip shortly after
the military operation started. 

 

A Fatah official in Ramallah told the Post that at least 100 of his men had
been killed or wounded as a result of the massive Hamas crackdown. Some had
been brutally tortured, he added. 

The official said that the perpetrators belonged to Hamas's armed wing,
Izaddin Kassam, and to the movement's Internal Security Force. 

According to the official, at least three of the detainees had their eyes
put out by their interrogators, who accused them of providing Israel with
wartime information about the location of Hamas militiamen and officials. 

 

A number of Hamas leaders and spokesmen have claimed in the past few days
that Fatah members in the Gaza Strip had been spying on their movement and
passing the information to Israel. 

Two Hamas officials, Salah Bardaweel and Fawzi Barhoum, accused Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his "spies" in the Gaza Strip of
tipping off the Israelis about the movements of slain Hamas interior
minister Said Siam, who was killed in an IAF strike on his brother's home in
Gaza City last week. 

 

The Fatah official in Ramallah said that, apart from being baseless, the
allegations were aimed at paving the way for a ruthless Hamas attack on
Fatah activists in the Gaza Strip. 

"They were afraid to confront the Israeli army and many Hamas militiamen
even ran away during the fighting," he said. "Hamas is now venting its anger
and frustration against our Fatah members there." 

Eyewitnesses said that Hamas militiamen had turned a number of hospitals and
schools into temporary detention centers where dozens of Fatah members and
supporters were being held on suspicion of helping Israel during the war. 

 

The eyewitnesses said that a children's hospital and a mental health center
in Gaza City, as well as a number of school buildings in Khan Yunis and
Rafah, were among the places that Hamas had turned into "torture centers." 

 

A Fatah activist in Gaza City claimed that as many as 80 members of his
faction were either shot in the legs or had their hands broken for allegedly
defying Hamas's house-arrest orders. 

"What's happening in the Gaza Strip is a new massacre that is being carried
out by Hamas against Fatah," he said. "Where were these [Hamas] cowards when
the Israeli army was here?" 

 

The activist said that Hamas's security forces had also confiscated cellular
phones and computers belonging to thousands of local Fatah members and
supporters. 

Relatives of Abed al-Gharabli, a former Fatah security officer who spent 12
years in Israeli prisons, said he was kidnapped by a group of Hamas
militiamen who shot him in both legs after severely torturing him. 

Ziad Abu Hayeh, one of the commanders of Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa
Martyrs Brigades, is reported to have lost his sight after Hamas gunmen put
out his eyes. According to Fatah activists, Abu Hayeh was kidnapped from his
home in Khan Yunis by Hamas militiamen. 

 

The Fatah men said that in a number of incidents, Hamas militiamen had
kidnapped Fatah activists while they were attending the funerals of people
killed during the war. In other cases, activists were detained and shot in
the legs after they were spotted smiling in public - an act interpreted by
Hamas as an expression of joy over Israel's military offensive. 

On Saturday night, three brothers from the Subuh family were abducted by
Hamas militiamen and taken to the Abdel Aziz Rantisi Mosque in Khan Yunis,
where they were shot in the legs, a local journalist told the Post. 

 

In a more recent incident, Hamas gunmen shot and killed 80-year-old Hisham
Tawfik Najjar after storming his home and beating his four sons - all Fatah
activists. 

Fahmi Za'areer, a Fatah spokesman in the West Bank, revealed that at least
16 Fatah activists had been executed by Hamas in the past few days. He
strongly condemned the Hamas clampdown on Fatah and warned against a
bloodbath in the Gaza Strip. 

 

A leaflet distributed by the Aksa Martyrs Brigades in various parts of the
Gaza Strip called on Hamas to "respect the blood of the Palestinian martyrs"
and stop pursuing Fatah members. The leaflet said that Hamas had placed
hundreds of Fatah men under house arrest in the past 48 hours and was
warning that anyone who failed to comply with these orders would be shot.
