Inter-Arab fighting continues to escalate in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas members and Fatah supporters continue killing one another in cold blood.
Early Wednesday, four men alighted from an unmarked car outside a courthouse in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis, shooting dead Bassem el-Fara, a judge affiliated with the Hamas.
The murder comes 48 hours after Hamas-linked gunmen butchered three small children of a Fatah-affiliated member of the Palestinian Authority.
It was also the second assassination of a judge in the past four days.
The killings have been followed by demonstrations by armed men gathering at traffic intersections in Gaza, firing their weapons into the air and screaming for revenge.
