Wael al-Ghalban was severely beaten, taken to an unknown destination, and then released two hours later by masked gunmen who attacked his house earlier in the day, al-Ghalban’s brother Ayman told the press.
Ayman said that his brother had been transferred to a local hospital for medical checks.
Prior to the Hamas group takeover of the Gaza Strip in June, both Fatah and Hamas had been engaged in ferocious fighting that claimed the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including members of the two factions and many other bystanders.
