GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas security arrested about 200 supporters of the rival Fatah group, hurled grenades at the home of a Fatah leader and set up checkpoints across Gaza on Saturday after a mysterious beachside blast that killed five Hamas members and a 6-year-old girl.
Hamas leaders blamed Fatah for Friday’s explosion and began the toughest crackdown against the rival group in recent months. A Gaza-based human-rights group reported Hamas security officials arrested at least 160 Fatah loyalists, and about 40 institutions connected to the group were raided.
Fatah leaders said more than 200 of its people were rounded up, including its top leader in Gaza, Ahmad Nasser. The group denied involvement in the blast.
