PA's Hamdallah safe after explosion near convoy in Gaza, March 13, 2018 (Reuters)Two members of the Hamas security forces, Ziad al-Hawajri and Ahmad Abu Sweireh, were also killed in the shootout.The incident took place a day after the Hamas Interior Ministry called on Gazans to contact it with any information about Abu Hosa’s whereabouts, for which it said it would provide a $5,000 reward.On March 13, a roadside bomb exploded adjacent to Hamdallah’s motorcade in Beit Hanun in northern Gaza, wounding seven staff members, damaging several cars and undermining an already stagnant reconciliation process between Hamas and Fatah.Earlier this week, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that he does not want to know any details from the Hamas-run security forces’ investigation into the bombing, while accusing the Islamist group of carrying it out.“We do not want an investigation or information from them. The bombing of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah's convoy in Gaza last week dealt another blow to efforts to implement a unity deal between the two main Palestinian factions - Islamist Hamas, which dominates Gaza, and Fatah, the main party in the Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Two men accused of an attempt to assassinate Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah die in a shootout with security forces. Two Hamas security personnel also die.
