Who dun it?????

Bombs exploded in the Gaza Strip early Friday, damaging fences and cars at the homes of senior members of the Fatah movement, which recently reached an agreement with Hamas to govern the Palestinian territory.

There were no immediate reports of casualties and no claim of responsibility for the attack, but Fatah spokesman Fayez Abu Aita immediately blamed Hamas for the bombings. The Islamist political and militant movement has ruled the enclave since 2007 and is a longtime rival of Hamas.

Mr. Aita said an unspecified number of devices had been planted in front of the homes of members of his party, including one that damaged his vehicle.

Local media reported a dozen explosions. Eleven targeted the homes of senior members in Fatah and a 12th was planted at a stage where Fatah had planned to hold a ceremony honoring the death of former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, the reports said.

Earlier this year, Fatah and Hamas, the two main rival factions in Palestinian politics, agreed to govern the Gaza Strip together, but the 50-day war between Hamas and Israel—as well as friction between the two groups—has slowed the planned integration of government ministries.
