GAZA STRIPGunbattle at hospital kills policeman A fierce gunbattle erupted Dec. 19 within the compound of Shifa hospital in Gaza City between the security personal of Hamas and Fatah. One member of the Hamas executive force was killed in the exchange and 11 were wounded, one seriously. The gunbattle erupted as the warring factions were trying to hold on to a shaky truce that followed days of unrest in Gaza, following Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' call for early elections. Hamas said they arrested two of the attackers. Hamas identified the dead man as Ismail Abu al-Hir, 25, a member of its police unit.
