PA Press Power Play

Gunmen believed to be affiliated with Hamas attacked an office of the official PA news agency, Wafa. One journalist was hospitalized after being beaten. The Jerusalem Post writes:

“The attackers destroyed all the computers and laptops in the office,” said a local reporter. “Before they left, they sprayed graffiti on the wall accusing the agency of not being objective.”

The attack is part of a power struggle between Hamas and Fatah over the PA media. For more on that, read here, here and here.
