Deadly Clashes In Gaza Prompt Israel To Open Border

GAZA CITY, GAZA - AUGUST 03: Palestinian children play on burnt out cars, one day after clashes between rival forces of Hamas and Fatah movements, on August 03, 2008 in the Shujaia neighborhood, Gaza City, Gaza. Nine Palestinians have been killed so far and approximately 90 others wounded in the battles between police and security backed by Hamas military and members of the Fatah-loyal Helis clan in Gaza City. The clashes began when Hamas security forces tried to arrest suspects thought to be behind a July 25 bombing that killed five militants and a little girl on a Gaza beach. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak authorized a total of 150 un-armed Palestinians to cross in to Israel for refuge. The wounded were taken to hospital and the rest were transported to Ramallah.
