This from BBC News:
Eight Palestinians, including four civilians, have been killed and about 60 injured in gunfights between rival political factions in the Gaza Strip.
Clashes broke out as militiamen loyal to the ruling party Hamas tried to break up protests by police and civil servants against unpaid wages.The Hamas fighters exchanged fire with security forces loyal to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement.

Hamas is locked in a power struggle with Fatah, which has been made worse by a severe economic crisis.
Earlier, Fatah supporters set fire to government buildings in Ramallah in the West Bank.
In Gaza City, Hamas fighters with guns and clubs moved into a crowd of civilian and police protesters gathered near the Palestinian parliament.
The Hamas forces began shooting in the air before a gunfight broke out between them and security forces considered loyal to Mr Abbas.
Of the four militiamen killed, one was from the interior ministry force that supports Hamas and the other three were from those elements of the security forces traditionally seen as loyal to Fatah - among them, two members of the presidential guard.
Gunmen from both sides fired at each other from positions on rooftops near the building.
And to think the UN criticized the Israelis for putting a wall up to protect them from these peaceful Palestinians. It was only a matter of time before something like this happens – one dose not elect a violent, armed, terrorist organization to form a government and expect it to be peaceful.
I will end my comments there before sarcasm gets the best of me.
