In June 2007, Hamas fighters took control of the Gaza Strip and removed all Fatah officials.[35] President Abbas, on 14 June, declared a state of emergency, dismissed Haniyeh's national unity government and appointed an emergency government, and suspended articles of the Basic Law to circumvent the needed PNC approval.[36][37][38][39]

Hamas has been the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip since its takeover in June 2007.

Looks like Hamas used force under 'a state of emergency' against Fatah
Maybe I read that wrong, Maybe wiki got it wrong

Lots of power under states of emergencies
