Hamas gunman killed in Palestinian Gaza infighting
GAZA (Reuters) - Fighting erupted in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday and a Hamas gunman was killed, the first fatality in such clashes since the Islamist movement agreed with its Fatah rivals to form a unity government a month ago.

Explosions from mortar bombs and rocket-propelled grenades shook the town of Beit Hanoun in the early hours after a shootout for which each side blamed the other. The fighting died down by morning at the urging of Hamas and Fatah leaders.

Seven Palestinians were wounded, including at least one Hamas gunman and two from Fatah, residents and doctors said.

The violence broke out just hours after Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of the Islamist Hamas movement said a unity government would be announced in the next few days.
