PALESTINIAN CIVIL WAR UPDATE

Five killed, scores wounded in Fatah-Hamas clashes in Gaza (JPost)
At least five Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded late Monday in armed clashes between Hamas policemen and Fatah supporters in the Gaza Strip.

The clashes erupted when thousands of Fatah supporters took to the streets to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of their faction.

The Hamas government had banned the Fatah celebrations in the Gaza Strip.

Among those killed in the fighting were an elderly man, a child and a Hamas police officer.

The violence erupted less than two hours after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called for a "new page" in relations between the bitter enemies.

AGAIN. IF THEY CAN'T MAKE PEACE WITH EACH OTHER, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY CAN MAKE PEACE WITH ISRAEL?
