Gunmen have destroyed broadcasting equipment in an office of Palestine TV, accusing it of favouring the Fatah faction over Hamas in its coverage.
Muhammad ad-Dahudi, director of Palestine Television, said on Monday that "dozens of Hamas gunmen and members of a back-up force of the interior minister ... are setting equipment on fire" at the office in the Gaza Strip.
The channel is under the control of Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and leader of Fatah.
Bassam Abd Allah, a Palestine TV cameraman, said that "around 100 gunmen ... destroyed cameras, and hit me and the bureau chief, Ahmed Saqer".
