Arab Shot in 'Occupied' Territory; Settling of Accounts?

Ah, but, it appears, not by Jews (aka 'settlers'):

Unknown gunmen shot a Palestinian Authority security officer on Tuesday night in the northern West Bank, locals said. Khaled al-Halabi, 40, was shot in the shoulder while at his farm in Rujeib village east of Nablus, Palestinians in the village told Ma'an. Al-Halabi was taken to hospital, where medics said his condition was moderate to serious.

Since anyone who reads Ma'an knows that they have no compunction about pointing a guilty finger at Jews/'settlers', even when they know we are not responsible, is the fact that they do not do so in this item's reporting indicate a presumption that this was an internal Pal. incident?  Perhaps different Fatah factions or a Hamas-Fatah settling (sorry for the pun) of accounts?  Or a clan thing?

Most probably.
