An Israeli air strike injured at least five Palestinians in Gaza City on Tuesday, witnesses and medics said. A rocket slammed into a home in the Al-Nasr district after missing its target of a car, damaging a balcony on an apartment building and wounding five passers-by, witnesses said.
According to AFP, the Israeli military confirmed the strike.
Meanwhile, Palestinian securitymen, who tried to break up a mass brawl between Hamas and Fatah supporters, opened fire in a university campus Tuesday, wounding three students in the biggest clash between the rival groups in the West Bank since the fall of Gaza Strip to Hamas last month.
According to the AP, the clash erupted at An Najah University, the West Bank's largest, in the city of Nablus.
Three people were hurt by live fire, including one who was shot in the head and was in critical condition, doctors said. Others suffered beating injuries.
The clash started when Hamas supporters staged a sit-in on campus and raised their movement's flags. Fatah activists demanded that the Hamas flags be removed, and a fistfight erupted.
Witnesses said students also threw chairs at each other. At some point, dozens of Palestinian security officers broke into the university and opened fire, the witnesses said. They were joined by about two dozen gunmen from the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed offshoot of Fatah.
