The mother of Fatah Central Committee member Muhammad Dahlan died recently in Gaza. According to reports, the Hamas authorities have prohibited the local flower shops from selling wreaths for her funeral. A Hamas-affiliated website stated that the families of victims who were killed in Gaza during the lead up to the Hamas coup have called to arrest Dahlan if he shows up for the funeral, and put him on trial for his role in the events.
Hamas members have kidnapped the owner of a Gaza printing press, and forced him to stop printing materials for Fatah.
