Hamas: Gaza City death was clan dispute unrelated to Rafah clash

Hamas: Gaza City death was clan dispute unrelated to Rafah clash

Gaza - Ma'an - A Palestinian man was killed in what police say was a
clan-related dispute in Gaza City on Friday night. The incident was
unrelated to clashes in the southern Strip, sources said.

A man identified as Rashid Dughmush was transferred to the Ash-Shifa
Hospital after unidentified gunmen opened fire on him in the Sabra
neighborhood as he drove past them in a de facto government police vehicle.
Police declined to say if Dughmush was working with them, or how he had
otherwise come into possession of the car.

Director of ambulance and emergency services in the Palestinian Ministry of
Health Muawiyah Hassanein identified the slain man and said he was in his
40s.

In September 2008 a fierce gunbattle broke out in the same neighborhood
after de facto government security forces attempted to arrest three members
of the Dughmush family. Medical sources said that 12 people were killed in
the incident, and de facto police detained at least 15 in subsequent raids.

Members of the Dughmush family, some affiliated with the group Army of
Islam, accused Hamas of using the killing of a police officer as pretext to
wage war against the group.
