KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Newest Hamas-Fatah truce collapses (JPost)
Following another day of fierce fighting in the Gaza Strip, Hamas and Fatah leaders announced a new cease-fire that went into effect at 8 pm. But even after the cease-fire was announced, gunmen belonging to the two sides continued to exchange gunfire in several locations.

At least 20 Palestinians were killed and 35 wounded in Wednesday's clashes, most of them militiamen belonging to the warring groups.

Scores of Palestinian and foreign journalists were trapped for more than three hours inside their offices in two buildings in the center of Gaza City because of the fighting between the two parties. No one was hurt. The journalists were able to leave the offices buildings after Fatah and Hamas withdrew their gunmen from the area.

The latest cease-fire, the sixth of its kind in the past three days, was announced following a phone conversation between Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Syria-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, a senior PA official in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post.

HAMAS MANAGED TO KILL FIVE OF ITS OWN TERRORISTS:

Five Hamas members were killed when a jeep they were traveling in came under fire in Gaza City. The five had been arrested by forces loyal to Abbas on charges of participating in the latest fighting. Two security officers who were accompanying the five Hamas men were also killed in the attack.
