One Palestinian was killed and another seriously injured in an armed confrontation between rival Fatah gangs in Nablus Tuesday.

Sources in the city said all those involved in the firefight were members of Fatah's armed wing, Aksa Martyrs Brigades.

The sources said the clash erupted in the Nablus Casbah between a local gang and gunmen from the nearby Balata refugee camp. They said a young Fatah activist from Balata, known by his nickname al-Ishi, was shot dead during the clash.

Witnesses said the two sides used pistols, automatic rifles, homemade bombs and hand grenades.

Palestinian journalists in Nablus told The Jerusalem Post that the latest incident is in the frame of a power struggle between warring Fatah militants from Nablus and Balata refugee camp, a stronghold of disgruntled members of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades.

1. Not accurate

Al-Aqsa is not the "armed wing" of Fatah. The most accurate terms to use are "offshoot" or "outside faction". But then, the Jpost knows that perfectly well.
