The aL-Aqsa brigades said that Wa’el aL-Majayda, Said aL-Majayda and Hani aL-Majayda, were shot and wounded in their legs from a very close destination in the aL-Majayda quarter in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis.

Following the Hamas takeover of Gaza in mid June, the executive force has been operating largely in the costal region, maintaining order and law; after all Fatah-linked Palestinian Authority’s forces abandoned their security posts.

Prior to June’s takeover, both Hamas and Fatah engaged in an internecine power struggle in the backdrop of an international community boycott of the Hamas-led government following the January2006’s legislative elections.
