Dozens of gunmen took over three governmental buildings in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday to press the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to deliver on pledge to give them jobs.

Witnesses said these gunmen took up roofs and balconies of the three governmental buildings in the northern Gaza Strip city of Beit Lahia.

Abu Husam, a spokesman for these gunmen from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed wing of the ruling Fatah movement, told reporters that the PNA had promised to fold them into the Palestinian security forces, but this didn't come true.

Abu Husam warned if the PNA failed to react to their demand, they would escalate the armed protest.
