Palestinian human rights organizations on Sunday condemned bloody clashes between Hamas security forces and Al-Qaida-affiliated militants who seized control of a Gaza Strip mosque Friday night.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the Gaza-based al-Damir for Human Rights called for an investigation into fighting between Hamas security forces and members of the Jihad al-Salafi group after the group's leader, Abdel-Latif Moussa, called for an Islamic emirate during his Friday sermon.
At least 24 people, including Moussa, were killed in the fighting, and at least 120 more wounded. According to some reports, six unarmed civilians were among the dead.
