Yes, yes – we know. It sounds like they’re about to break out into all out war:

The Palestinian Authority security forces have foiled an attempt by Hamas to assassinate senior PA leaders in the Gaza Strip, including PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah legislator Muhammad Dahlan, Palestinian security sources said Monday. The sources said that over the past few days the security forces discovered a number of underground tunnels in the northern Gaza Strip that were dug along major roads used by PA and Fatah leaders. Some of the tunnels were also discovered beneath the homes of top Fatah officials in the same area, the sources said. Abdel Hakim Awad, a senior Fatah official in the Gaza Strip, said tons of explosives were discovered in the tunnels, some of which were traced back to the interior of Hamas-controlled mosques.

So Hamas – that would be the official government receiving international aid to run the Palestinian territories – has now been officially declared in violation of thousand-year old restrictions against using holy places as military bases… by other Palestinians. We except this to get no coverage at all by anybody. Because it will get no coverage by anybody.

Oh, and the civil war thing. Not a chance they have enough energy to keep it up. Obviously.
