Fatah and Hamas agreed stop fighting

According to BNA, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party and the Hamas group agreed today to stop fighting among themselves after clashes that marked the worse internal violence in years.
Violence also erupted in Israel when thousands of right-wingers and police clashed in a village after security forces blocked it off to stop a planned march by protesters trying to disrupt Israel's pullout from the occupied Gaza Strip. "The movements have agreed to stop all clashes and violence and end all armed presence and all issues that may lead to tension between the two sides," senior Fatah leader and Palestinian cabinet minister Sufian Abu Zaida said. After a gunbattle between Hamas and Fatah men wounded 13 people on Tuesday, senior leaders of both groups agreed to order their gunmen in the Gaza Strip to stop confronting one another and to stay off the streets in northern Gaza. Internal Palestinian violence has raged since Abbas ordered security forces last week to stop militants from launching rockets at Israeli targets after an attack killed a woman at a border town, which gunmen said was in response to Israeli killings of fighters.
