Two Palestinians Killed in Gaza Internal Fighting

(Reuters) Two Palestinian bystanders were killed and more than a dozen people wounded on Friday in gun battles between Palestinian security forces and militant factions, hospital sources said. The internal conflict erupted Thursday after militants fired rockets into Israel and Palestinian police confronted them in an effort to prevent further barrages. Fighting raged in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza, a known Hamas stronghold, pitting Palestinian security forces in armored vehicles against militants firing anti-tank missiles, witnesses said. Hospital sources said six of the wounded were members of the security forces and the rest were civilians. Families of the casualties were outraged by the violence and armed relatives fired shots inside Shifa hospital before Palestinian police moved in to restore order.
