HAMAS VIOLATES FAKE CEASE-FIRE WITH FATAH
Hamas ambushes Gaza convoy, four dead.
GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas gunmen ambushed what the Islamic group said was a convoy carrying weapons to Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard in the Gaza Strip on Thursday and four people were killed, residents said.
Abbas’s Fatah faction said the four-truck convoy, which crossed into Gaza from Israel, was carrying medical equipment and tents, and accused Hamas of plunging a 3-day-old Palestinian ceasefire into “grave danger.”
Two presidential guard officers and two civilians were killed in a battle which raged between Hamas gunmen and presidential guards accompanying the convoy, residents said.
Hospital officials said 30 people, including two children, were wounded in the clash, the fiercest since Tuesday’s ceasefire halted a surge of internal violence in which 33 Palestinians were killed. "A real war is taking place, gunmen are using the heaviest arms they have,” a witness said.
