Hamas and PA Clash in Gaza, Three Dead
(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - One policeman and two civilians were killed and at least 50 people were wounded during clashes between the Palestinian police and Hamas members in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. The clashes erupted when a police patrol in Gaza City stopped a car containing four armed Hamas operatives and tried to confiscate their weapons. According to Palestinian sources, one of the four was Mohammed Rantisi, the son of former Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi. The Hamas men opened fire, and the ensuing confrontation sparked gun battles between Hamas operatives and policemen, with armed Fatah operatives joining in on the side of the police.
