CBNNews.com - GAZA - Gunmen in Gaza killed three schoolchildren today.
The boys, ages three, six and nine, were on their way to school in a car when gunmen riddled the vehicle with some 60 bullets.
Security officials believe the attackers were trying to kill the boys' father, Baha Balousheh -- a leading member of the Fatah party loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
At midday, thousands of Fatah supporters protested by marching in a mass funeral procession.
Fatah leaders blame the radical Palestinian group Hamas for the attack.
The boys' father helped crack down on Hamas a decade ago.
Hamas denies any involvement.
