The political crisis among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip entered its second week today, as militants set fire to a police station and briefly seized another government building. According to officials, unidentified armed men attacked the police station in the Al-Zawaida neighborhood, about 7 kilometers south of Gaza City, breaking windows and setting the building ablaze. No one was injured, but the police station was destroyed. Meanwhile, in Khan Younis, dozens of militants affiliated with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades took control of a government building and demanded that Yasser Arafat reverse their dismissal from security positions. Since Arafat changed the commander of the security services and entrusted public security in Gaza to a relative, public anger against him has intensified.
