Gaza clashes threaten ceasefire Fatah storms Gaza 'Hamas campus'
(about 5 hours later)
More than a dozen people have been injured and there are unconfirmed reports of at least one fatality in renewed violence in the Gaza Strip. Forces close to the Fatah party of the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, have stormed a university campus seen as a bastion of the rival Hamas movement.
Clashes have broken out between Hamas fighters and the security forces seen as loyal to the Fatah Party. A BBC correspondent in Gaza says the large-scale operation shows how the fighting in Gaza has escalated.
It comes just three days after the two factions agreed a ceasefire that was meant to end violence that has claimed more than 30 lives this month. Earlier on Thursday, six people died when Hamas militants hijacked a convoy delivering supplies to the Fatah-allied security forces.
Correspondents say the latest incidents will put the truce under great strain. Three days ago the two factions agreed a ceasefire after 30 deaths this year.
There are reports of skirmishes in various parts of the Gaza Strip and gunmen returning to the streets. There were reports throughout the day of skirmishes in various parts of the Gaza Strip and gunmen returning to the streets.
Reuters newsagency reported that 10 people were wounded in northern Gaza when Hamas raided a military intelligence post. Hamas is quoted saying its forces came under fire first.
