Hamas police set up checkpoints across Gaza on Saturday to prevent pilgrims from leaving for a holy Muslim ritual in Saudi Arabia, beating some who tried to dodge barriers, witnesses said.
Hamas were upset that the pilgrims coordinated their journey with the Palestinian Authority.
Egypt criticized Hamas's actions as unbecoming of an Islamic movement.
