In the effort to enforce security in the lawless Gaza, Hamas confronts Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Hamas-PIJ clashes relate to Gaza’s internal security issues, and Hamas doesn’t enforce on PIJ its request of ceasing rocket attacks on Israel.
Hamas also tries to disarm the Hils clan.
Fatah doesn’t enforce similar security in the West Bank where the armed gangs of Palestinian Arabs armed with Israeli-issued automatic rifles roam the neighborhoods.
