Shootout between PA and Hamas kills one
In the Jabaliya refugee camp north of Gaza City, Mahmud Abdel Rahman Alemkayad, 17, was killed in crossfire between security forces and militants. A first gunbattle erupted when Palestinian security forces prevented Hamas militants from launching a mortar attack, the kind they're not launching anymore. Five Hamas were arrested and five security officers wounded, one seriously. A short time later, Hamas supporters stormed the scene and threw rocks and opened fire on the security forces as they tried to take the arrested militants to a nearby police station. Twenty people were wounded in the attempt to free the arrested militants.
And a wonderful Palestinian time was had by all, except for Mahmud.
