Sabah al-kheir (good morning),
Some commotion in town yesterday to mark Hamas's 19th anniversary. Although Hamas won the elections, Fatah control security - and they don't much like each other. After Friday prayers, Hamas supporters wanted to march from the mosque through town, Fatah said no and fired into the crowd - reports say several killed and 35 injured.
There is a strange blend of the everyday here, much as any town anywhere, punctuated by sudden and violent flare ups. And as these internal squabbles are occuring, the occupation continues.
It is not altogether clear to see how this will end happily.
A crystal clear slightly nippy morning with a clear view of Tel-Aviv and the Med beyond. Morning coffee has just been served - should keep me vibrating until humus time.
