Guess Israel can sit back for a few...

Palestinians against Hamas-led government

"Hundreds of Palestinian security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas went on a rampage against the Hamas-led government Monday night, firing bullets and setting a Cabinet building on fire in retaliation for an earlier attack by Hamas gunmen."

So if they are fighting amongst themselves I guess Israel can sit back for a while? I'm sure that they need to be vigilant, but maybe the Palestinian's will do some of their work for them.

This is from Israel's on-line news source - Debka

"Flames are spreading from the cabinet office. Both buildings, unoccupied at the time, were riddled with bullets. Fatah was rampaging against Hamas’s takeover of Palestinian government and retaliating for clashes in Gaza. Earlier, Mahmoud Abbas ordered his security forces to take control of the streets of Gaza after his Fatah gunmen clashed with Hamas militiamen in Rafah, leaving two dead, 14 injured"
