As the savage fighting continued in Gaza, with fathers sportingly shot in the head by Hamas in front of their terrified children, with the Fatah opposition bound hand and foot and joyfully flung from the rooftops of 15 story buildings, or chased down and slaughtered in hospitals by Hamas, many Gazans discarded fleeting thoughts of brotherhood with their duly elected Hamas masters, instead attempted fleeing to the relative safety of their hated enemy as they

converged on the Erez crossing with Israel on Saturday, trying to leave the Gaza Strip following Hamas' takeover.  At the same time, hundreds of people looted police positions on the Palestinian side of Erez

The violence left Gaza increasingly isolated, a situation worsened Sunday when an Israeli fuel company cut off deliveries to gas stations in the impoverished coastal strip.
