GAZA CITY - Five Palestinians were wounded on Tuesday in an anti-tank rocket attack against the Gaza City headquarters of a Fatah-dominated Palestinian security service, medical sources said. Two of the wounded were members of the preventive security service whose downtown Gaza headquarters came under attack, medical sources said. The other three were cleaners working in the compound, security sources said.“Three RPG (rocket-propelled grenades) were fired from the roof of a house at the preventive security building,” a security source said.

A power struggle between the Fatah-controlled security services and Hamas-led government has seen the Gaza Strip bogged down in deadly feuding in which at least 16 people have been killed since early May. TuesdayÂ’s explosion came as Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas was expected to call a snap referendum on a statehood plan, which implicitly recognises Israel, despite the protests of Hamas.
