Well this is getting interesting. Ma'an News has published a list of names of residents of Gaza who Fatah claims have been either murdered, been shot in the legs or feet, or had their legs broken by Hamas: Fatah publishes names of 181 claimed killed, shot or maimed by de facto government forces in Gaza
...The Undersecretary of the caretaker government's Ministry of Prisoners Affairs Ziyad Abu Ein spoke out against the rights violations and accused Hamas of "terrorism," and said they were preventing media outlets in Gaza report on their crimes.
"Our people badly need a free press capable of protecting the truth," he said, noting that the truth was all that could counter the "terrorist procedures against patriotic Palestinians."
Abu Ein also published a list of names and neighborhoods of those in Gaza who were killed, maimed, beaten or tortured during the Israeli war on Gaza.
He encouraged aid organizations inside Gaza to check the list and contact those who have given testimony and prove the truth of the list of 181 names. Abu Ein also called on the Arab League to send a fact-finding mission to Gaza and uncover the reality behind the shocking information...
Good luck on that. They've got safer places to investigate...like Tel Aviv.
The article lists the names and neighborhoods of 11 people allegedly killed, 58 'shot in the feet or legs' and 112 'whose legs were broken.'
Update: Watch this (via Israellycool)
Update2: Gazans tell Israeli investigators of Hamas abuses - 'Nuaf Atar spoke about the use of Gazan schools to shoot rockets at Israel. Zabhi Atar revealed that Hamas used food coupons to entice Palestinians to join its ranks and Hamad Zalah said Hamas took control of UNRWA food supplies transferred to Gaza and refused to distribute them to people affiliated with Fatah...'
