GCIS/MSS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and de facto Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, worried they also may be struck by “revolutionary fever,” have banned rallies supporting the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.

In Gaza, Hamas forces not only broke up a sit-in demonstration but they also beat journalists. In Ramallah, armed PA police confiscated journalists' cameras and ordered them to turn off recorders.

Arab activist Omar Barghouti told the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency, "Heavy-handed suppression of the youth-initiated and…peaceful celebration of the Tunisian uprising's overthrow of the dictator, Ben-Ali, indicates where the PA's loyalty lies." (read full report)

GCIS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: Despite the Palestinian Authority's frequent denials that it supports terrorism, Palestinian Media Watch has uncovered a PA media report stating that PA leader Mahmoud Abbas has given $2,000 to the family of a terrorist who was killed trying to murder IDF soldiers.
 
The incident occurred several weeks ago, when a would-be "holy martyr" (shahid) carrying two pipe bombs ran towards the Israeli soldiers manning the Hamra checkpoint near the Jordan Valley. Screaming "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is Greater), he was shot and killed before he could detonate the bombs.

The presidential grant was awarded this week by the governor of the Jenin district, Kadura Musa, to the family of the would-be murderer in the family's village of Al-Yamoun. The governor noted that the grant is financial aid in the amount of $2,000 from Mahmoud Abbas. (read full report)
