Palestinian Non-Civil War Watch - Ceasefire Off, Roadblocks On

This is beginning to get tedious:

A battle between gunmen from Hamas and Fatah in the Gaza Strip left one Fatah man dead before daybreak Thursday, Palestinian officials said, the first fatality in Palestinian infighting since a truce between the rival factions took hold more than two weeks ago... Clashes were still going on 12 hours later, with a rocket-propelled grenade hitting that house, and gunmen from both sides lobbing explosives at the homes of rival group officials. Meanwhile, roadblocks divided two main Rafah neighborhoods into factional enclaves, and armed men from Hamas and Fatah took up positions on rooftops in the areas under their control... Medics said at least 17 people were wounded in gun battles since the morning, two in serious condition.

Roadblocks? So any day now, we're going to see leftist useful idiots coming to protest these things - right? And Amnesty International is keeping a count of these things so that they can tabulate them for an annual report - right?
