HAMAS, FATAH IGNORE CEASE-FIRE

Hamas, Fatah Gunmen Battle Across Gaza
Palestinian infighting raged in the Gaza Strip Tuesday morning despite a cease-fire declaration by warring Hamas and Fatah factions aimed at ending factional clashes that have left more than 60 dead in the past two months. Gunfire and explosions were audible in downtown Gaza City as gunmen from the rival factions ignored the cease-fire. (AP/USA Today)

UPDATE: "A Hamas commander has been killed by gunmen in southern Gaza, despite a ceasefire between the Palestinian militant group and its rival, Fatah," the BBC reports.
