The Hamas-Fatah brawl is going to heat up in earnest in the coming months. There will be an all-out war for control of the West Bank.
Like in Gaza, I would expect Hamas to win, but it will certainly be a far more bloody and determined fight.

According to the story, the US is training elite Fatah forces in Lebanon in anticipation of this conflict.
If that is true, it is a propaganda coup for Hamas, because they will be able to paint Fatah as a stooge for Israeli and US interests.
