Palestinians hurt at funeral clashes
2006-05-10
Three bystanders have been wounded in fresh clashes between followers of Fatah and Hamas during funerals for two of the victims of yesterday's violence in the southern Gaza Strip. Hospital officials said the three unarmed people were not seriously hurt on Tuesday. The funeral was for a Fatah member killed in a clash with Hamas on Monday.

Fatah officials and witnesses said Hamas set off two bombs and opened fire on the procession, setting off a firefight between the two sides. Earlier on Tuesday, 10 people were wounded in a gun battle between Fatah and Hamas fighters in Gaza, a day after three were killed in clashes there.

#5  When UFF terrorist Micheal Stone went on a box of frogs mental :) at an IRA funeral he managed to kill three and wound about sixty, with a pistol and two grenades, you get the impression the safest place to be in gaza is in the middle of a gunfight between Hamas and Fatah.

#3  Jeebus Crimeny,

2 bombs and "opening fire" and they only manage to slightly wound 3 by standers?

What the hell, did the IDF take out all their instructors? You call THIS chaos and mayhem?

I've seen worse when Ernied dissed Bert.
