An anonymous source identified only as a senior official in the Gaza Electricity Company told the Fatah-controlled Pal-Press Web site that Hamas is staging the latest fuel "crisis." The Jerusalem Post picks up:
"Hamas has seized more than 220,000 liters of fuel that was intended for generators belonging to our company," he revealed. "There's no shortage of fuel and as such there is no reason for a crisis."

And PA officials told the Post that Hamas also smuggles "tens of thousands of liters" of fuel supplies through Gaza tunnels. Read the whole article.
