Israel Accepts Hamas Refugees

by Eric on August 3, 2008

Israel allowed approximately 200 Palestinians into the country fleeing infighting between Hamas and Fatah. 11 were killed in Gaza leading up to the small exodus.

The majority of the 200 made their way to Ramallah, though the JTA reports that they were sent back to Gaza at President Abbas’ request. They were all arrested upon arrival into the Hamas controlled territory.
