From Yahoo News/Reuters:
GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian Hamas security forces in the Gaza Strip arrested 160 men aligned with the rival Fatah faction on Saturday, after an explosion there killed five Hamas gunmen and a girl, Fatah officials said.
Friday's blast next to a car used by men from the armed wing of Gaza's ruling Islamist Hamas group killed the girl and three militants. Two others died of their wounds in hospital, Hamas and medical officials said.
The blast, the third of its kind in a day, marked one of the biggest flare-ups in internal Gaza violence since Hamas routed the forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's more secular Fatah faction to seize control of the territory a year ago.

My Comment: Violence in Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East .... the violence has always come in cycles. The violence in Gaza is now in an upswing.
The difference is that Hamas is now being targeted. This is a feeling that they clearly do not like.
