The Palestinian government in Gaza Strip has declared that all ministries should return back to normal work as of Wednesday following the recent Israeli aggression. The government in a statement by its spokesman Taher Al-Nunu called on all civil servants to report to their jobs as of Wednesday morning.
Universities and schools in Gaza also announced start of work for its administrative staff in preparation for re-opening classes.
Hamas also said on Wednesday it had begun rounding up suspected collaborators with Israel, drawing accusations from the rival Fatah group that its members were being targeted. "The internal security service was instructed to track collaborators and hit them hard," said Ehab al-Ghsain, spokesman of the Hamas Interior Ministry, according to Reuters.
"They arrested dozens of collaborators who attempted to strike the resistance by giving information to the occupation about the fighters," he said.
A statement issued by Fatah in Gaza said that since fighting ended Hamas had carried out a number of attacks against Fatah members. These included, the statement said, "shooting at the feet of Fatah members, brutal crimes of execution and throwing the bodies in the rubble of destruction".
Ghsain denied the allegations but said authorities had begun tracking down suspected "collaborators" with Israel. "These are familiar lies and false allegations from Fatah and the forces of sedition," he said.
"It is also an attempt to steal the light of victory and cover up how they bet on the enemy and their disappointment that the enemy could do nothing to return them (to power)."
