Here’s AP‘s background info on an IDF raid on Nablus yesterday:
The Nablus raid was an indication that Israel will not stop fighting militants linked to President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement — even though Israel is supporting Abbas in his struggle against Hamas, the Islamic group that seized control of the Gaza Strip two weeks ago.
Reversing the thrust of Ali Daraghmeh’s snippet, holds equally true. I didn’t want to get sidetracked over the word “militant,” so I left it in for the sake of argument:
The Nablus raid was an indication that militants linked to President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement will not stop fighting Israel — even though Israel is supporting Abbas in his struggle against Hamas, the Islamic group that seized control of the Gaza Strip two weeks ago.
