In the legislative council election for the Palestinian territories (West Bank and Gaza) in 2006, Hamas won all nine seats in the electoral district of Hebron in the West Bank. Hamas received 56.1 percent of the votes in total from all electoral districts in the Palestinian territories. As a result, Hamas took over 45 of the 66 legislative council seats in the Palestinian territories. Previously, the political leadership of the Palestinian territories was held by Fatah/PLO. This led to an internal conflict between Fatah and Hamas, which turned into the Palestinian civil war of 2006 to 2007. As a consequence, Hamas took complete control over the Gaza Strip, leaving the West Bank under the control of Fatah. The 2006 election was the last in the Palestinian territories, which included Gaza.
