Today, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas forced out West Bank security chief Ismail Jaber.
This comes after an attack by gunmen on Wednesday on the Palestinian government compound in Ramallah.
According to a Voice of America article,
"Ismail Jaber submitted his resignation Friday after gunmen loyal to him fired on Mr. Abbas' Ramallah compound Wednesday, when Mr. Abbas was there. The gunmen were defying a presidential request that they either disarm or join the security forces.
Mr. Abbas was elected president in January after Yasser Arafat's death. He is struggling to reform his security forces."
Abbas fired Younis Al-Aas the local security chief in Ramallah yesterday.
