Is Fatah Helping Israel Decimate Hamas?

Well it is according to this source.

I've been talking to friends of mine, former Palestinian Authority intelligence officials (ejected from power by the Hamas coup), and they tell me that not only are they rooting for the Israelis to decimate Hamas, but that Fatah has actually been assisting the Israelis with targeting information.

That sounds like a very sound plan if I was heading Fatah. All you have to do is condemn Israel so you don't lose street cred with the "Arab Street" but then you secretly help the IDF wipe out your hated enemy. I remember quite a bit of Fatah guys being murdered and tortured when Hamas seized Gaza. So this is Fatah's way of getting a measure of revenge for those atrocities and wiping out your rival at the same time. Sounds nice and Machiavellian.
