By Haaretz Service and News Agencies
In internal violence in the Gaza Strip on Friday, two Hamas militants were wounded in an attack on a security position, a group spokesperson and medical staff said. Hamas said four suspects had been arrested, but did not identify them.
Earlier Friday, Hamas security forces detained student suporters of the rival Fatah movement in Gaza, accusing them of using premises of Fatah-affiliated Al Azhar University to prepare banners and other materials for an unauthorized rally next month marking the 43rdanniversary of the movement's founding.
Fatah said more than 40 of its members were arrested by Hamas on Friday, raising tensions between the rival groups ahead of Fatah's planned anniversary celebration.
Hamas, which seized control of the coastal territory in June, confirmed 20 Fatah members had been arrested for holding an "illegal gathering."
