(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Five people were wounded during a shoot-out between Hamas gunmen and PA security agents in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said Wednesday. PA security forces opened fire at a group of masked Hamas terrorists who had just fired three Kassam rockets at Jewish settlements from Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza City, Tuesday night. Three Hamas men and two policemen were wounded in the exchange of gunfire. When the policemen left their cars to chase them, the Hamas men stole the police cars and fled. Local residents at the Jabalya refugee camp also opened fire at the security officials, forcing them to flee.
