Palestinian media reported that a Hamas policeman was shot dead in violent clashes with civilians in West Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. 

The clashes reportedly broke out following a demonstration held near the Kuwaiti hospital in the city, where the protestors waved banners with a call to Hamas "to not steal the humanitarian aid and stop the war." 

Amin Abid, a Gazan activist, wrote on Facebook that "Fatah youths who help people in Gaza were kidnapped and interrogated by Hamas members. 

This requires the movement to take a firm position.
