“Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul;
let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.”
let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.”
Psalm 35:4
Ahuva Balofsky, Breaking Israel News (BIN) — After initially holding Salafist groups responsible for several recent bomb attacks in the Gaza Strip, Hamas has changed its mind, blaming Palestinian Authority ruling party Fatah, instead. The reversal took place Wednesday, Ynet reported.Several bombs targeting the ruling Hamas party have rocked the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, including an attack May 14 on a training field that left dozens wounded. Hamas began a campaign of arrests on Salafists activists who support the Islamic State and consider Hamas to be “soft” on both Israel and Islam. In an effort to apply pressure on Hamas to stop their crack-down, the Salafists launched several rockets against Israel, knowing the Israeli response would keep Hamas too busy to deal with them.
Now, Hamas appears to have had a change of heart. Hamas’s Interior Ministry blamed the PA for the bombings at a press conference, saying Fatah was exploiting the regional security situation to destabilize the Gaza Strip. The Islamist party claimed to have arrested several individuals involved in the alleged conspiracy, which it says was led by senior political and security officials in Ramallah.
As proof, Hamas presented a video containing the supposed confession of one Naim Abu Ful, purported to be responsible for a marketplace car bombing attempt in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood. Abu Ful is said to have been acting under direct orders from Ramallah.
In the video, the man says he took his orders from Sami Nasman, a senior security official in Ramallah, and that an associate of Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Mahmoud el-Habash, was personally involved in the plan.
Ultimately, Hamas blamed Abbas for the bombings, demanding Palestinian unity government Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah take a stand on the matter, holding the guilty parties responsible.
In addition to the bombings, Hamas accused Fatah of fabricating dozens of websites and Facebook pages aimed at encouraging anarchy in the Gaza Strip and undermining the Hamas government there.
