abstract
  • The Fatah–Hamas battle in Gaza, also referred to as Hamas' takeover of Gaza was a short military conflict between Fatah and Hamas, that took place in the Gaza Strip between 10 and 15 June 2007. It was a climax in the Fatah–Hamas conflict, centered around the struggle for power, after Fatah lost the parliamentary elections of 2006. Hamas fighters took control of the Gaza Strip and removed Fatah officials. The battle resulted in the dissolution of the unity government and the de facto division of the Palestinian territories into two entities, the West Bank governed by the Palestinian National Authority, and Gaza governed by Hamas. In the preceding periode, the US and Israel apparently strengthened Fatah's military power to topple Hamas. The ICRC estimated that at least 118 people were killed and more than 550 wounded during the fighting in the week up to June 15.
