Masked Palestinian policemen sealed off a main road in the central Gaza town of Khan Younis on Saturday and took over a government building in protest at not receiving their wages from the Hamas-led government.
The policemen surrounded the building where town councilors have their offices, taking positions on the roof and on balconies and firing in the air.
Sporadically firing rifles in the air, the policemen paralyzed Khan Younis, forcing workers traveling from northern Gaza Strip to get out of their cars and walk more than a half a mile to get into town.
