In all, 17 Palestinians were killed Monday and early Tuesday, including three shot dead in Beit Hanoun Hospital in northern Gaza. At Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, combatants fired mortars, grenades and assault rifles. Gunmen from Hamas killed Jamal Abu al-Jediyan, Secretary General of the Fatah movement in northern Gaza and a co-founder of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade.
