Gaza : A Fatah-affiliated man was killed Thursday morning in clashes with members of rival Hamas movement in the southern Gaza Strip, security sources and a medic said.
The street battles killed Wael Wahbi, 27 and injured nine others including three children, said the medical source, adding that at least two have sustained serious wounds.
A Hamas website quoted sources from the Islamic movement as saying that a group of Hamas fighters came under fire in Rafah, a town in southern Gaza strip and the gunmen "responded to the fire's source."
"The shooting has led to the death of Wahbi," the unidentified sources told Palestinian Media Network of Hamas.
The clashes were the first since an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire reached by the two rival movements on May 19.
Thursday's clash came at the time when various Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, flocked to Cairo for talks about reinforcing the two-week-old ceasefire.
Last month, Hamas and Fatah fought each other in the deadliest clashes since they formed a unity government in March. More than 52 Palestinians were killed.
