Gaza skyline AUDIO: Gunfire STORYLINE: Fatah and Hamas gunmen clashed at Cabinet ministries, universities and security headquarters on Saturday in defiance of a truce that was to have calmed the seething Gaza Strip. Gazans who had ventured from their homes, hoping for a lull in violence, scurried to seek refuge. The ceasefire agreement was announced late on Friday after Palestinian officials said the agreement, the second announced this week, was approved by both Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah and Hamas' supreme leader, Khaled Mashaal. But gun battles raged across Gaza after the truce was announced, continuing throughout the night and early on Saturday. Gunfire also erupted around the Interior Ministry, which Hamas controls, and the Fatah-dominated National Security headquarters. Armed men at the Islamic University, a Hamas stronghold, traded fire with Fatah fighters who took up position on the rooftop of the nearby al-Azhar University and surrounding buildings. Hospital officials reported 14 people wounded in the various clashes around the town. Shortly after a meeting between Fatah and Hamas representatives at the Egyptian embassy on Friday night, a car carrying the Fatah delegation was reportedly shot at by Hamas gunman at 1930 local time (1730 GMT). AP Television pictures showed images of the Fatah delegation car on Saturday, damaged by bullet holes. More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in internal violence since the Islamic militant Hamas, which rejects Israel's right to exist, won parliamentary elections last year and ousted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' more moderate Fatah movement from power.
